Once upon a time... A Puzzle

jeff hammond

W L C ?

this one has been stuck in my head all day.. i'm hoping it's part of a sequence such as the last two (numbers, days of the week) and not something like the guesses so far on it..
the closest i've come (i realize i'm forcing this one.. possibly due to frustration) is O.

How about this:

Think of a common (at least in US it's common) food in 8 letters. Remove one letter and rearrange the remaining letters to name another food. Now, remove one more letter, rearrange the remainder to name another food.

meatloaf
oatmeal
tamale

remus

Its not a sequence, its a phrase stronlgy related to the current discussion

ha.. nope..
after you answered though, it made me wonder if a french speaking person would be able to get it.. i think french might be okay but i'm not too sure about all languages.. better stick to english to find the next line in that series.

What Letter Comes Next

remus

jeff hammond

so no takers on this one?

1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221
1113213211

i'll give it another day or so before revealing..

no more puzzles? i'm addicted to things like this..

remus

31131211131221?

jeff hammond

bingo! nice work remus

the puzzle is called a look-say.. basically, look at the line then say/write what you see..

1 = one one.. there is one one so the next line is 11
11= two ones.. there are two ones so the next line is 21
etc..

i barely know any french but it appears to work in spanish as well.. uno,dos,tres,quatro,cinco,seis..

my guess for the next letter would then be 'C' for cero.. if C is wrong then my guess is:

whatever the first letter is in the translation of 'zero' in french..

TIG

zero is zero...

zero is zero...

haha..
ok, then my guess is 'Z'
