This is based on the What is a Word/Phrase™ series of Phrase™ and Word™ puzzles, started by JLee.
If a word follows a certain rule, then I call it a Corny Word™.
Use the example word lists below to find the rule. Each word can be tested for whether it is a Corny Word™ without depending on other words in these lists.
Corny Word™ | Not Corny Word™ |
---|---|
CORN | COB |
THROUGH | THOUGHT |
ANTONYM | SYNONYM |
CHRISTMAS | CAROL |
EARMUFFS | HEADPHONES |
REMOTE | CONTROLLER |
CLARINET | PIANO |
ELEPHANT | RHINOCEROS |
To analyze, here's a CSV version:
Corny Word™, Not Corny Word™
CORN, COB
THROUGH, THOUGHT
ANTONYM, SYNONYM
CHRISTMAS, CAROL
EARMUFFS, HEADPHONES

I can add more examples if necessary.
