  1. holy crap! i never EVER get these right.

  2. Your title clue gave it away if you could not figure it out by itself.

  3. How does the title give it away?

    I, for one, was terribly lost.

    I want a logic puzzle! Or a 5×5!

  4. El-ementary (although I didn’t get it)

  5. I got this one and I NEVER get these.

    I don’t see the clue in the title referred to above.

  6. I sorta got it. I guessed that they started with a short “e” or “i” sound. I say the letters m and n with a short i sound ,”im” and “in”, not with a short e sound, “em” and “en”.

  7. My answer is “T”. All of the letters are made with straight lines. No curves.
