Letter Logic worksheet: Use picture clues to spell a six-letter food word.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are looking for a six-letter word that you can eat. Each clue gives us one letter, based on what letters are in the first picture but NOT in the second picture.

---

Clue 1: First letter is in “sheep” but not in “gorilla”

- Letters in “sheep”: s, h, e, e, p → unique: s, h, e, p
- Letters in “gorilla”: g, o, r, i, l, l, a → unique: g, o, r, i, l, a
- Which letters from “sheep” are NOT in “gorilla”?
→ s (not in gorilla), h (not in gorilla), e (not in gorilla), p (not in gorilla)
Wait — we need to pick just ONE letter per clue. But which one?

Actually, let’s think differently: maybe it’s about finding the *only* letter that appears in the first word and not in the second? Or perhaps the most obvious one?

But wait — let’s look at all clues together and see if we can find a common six-letter food word.

Common six-letter edible words: banana, orange, potato, tomato, carrot, cheese, etc.

Let’s test each clue with possible answers.

Try “cheese” — 6 letters, edible.

Check Clue 1: first letter = c

Is “c” in “sheep”? No → so not cheese.

Try “potato”

First letter: p

Is “p” in “sheep”? Yes. Is “p” in “gorilla”? No → good! So first letter could be p

Clue 2: second letter is in “fish” but not in “brush”

“fish” → f, i, s, h
“brush” → b, r, u, s, h
Letters in fish not in brush: f, i (s and h are in both)

So second letter could be f or i

If our word starts with “p”, then second letter might be “o” for “potato” — but “o” is not in “fish”. So not matching.

Wait — try “banana”

First letter: b

Is “b” in “sheep”? No → no.

Try “tomato”

First letter: t — not in “sheep” → no.

Try “carrot”

First letter: c — not in “sheep” → no.

Try “orange”

First letter: o — not in “sheep” → no.

Try “grape” — only 5 letters.

Wait — what about “pepper”? 6 letters, edible.

First letter: p → in “sheep”? yes. In “gorilla”? no → good.

Second letter: e → is “e” in “fish”? No → fish has f,i,s,h → no e → so doesn’t work.

Hmm.

What about “pickle”?

First letter: p → in sheep? yes. Not in gorilla? yes → good.

Second letter: i → in “fish”? yes. In “brush”? brush has b,r,u,s,h → no i → good!

Third letter: c → in “cat”? yes. In “bat”? bat has b,a,t → no c → good!

Fourth letter: k → in “key”? yes. In “eye”? eye has e,y,e → no k → good!

Fifth letter: l → in “lamp”? lamp has l,a,m,p → yes. In “man”? man has m,a,n → no l → good!

Sixth letter: e → in “egg”? egg has e,g,g → yes. In “goose”? goose has g,o,o,s,e → oh, “e” IS in goose → so not allowed.

Problem: last letter must be in “egg” but NOT in “goose”.

“egg” → e, g
“goose” → g, o, s, e → so “e” is in both → invalid.

So “pickle” fails at last letter.

Wait — what if sixth letter is “g”? “g” is in “egg” and also in “goose” → still invalid.

So no letter from “egg” is absent from “goose”? That can’t be right.

Wait — “egg” has e and g. “goose” has g, o, s, e → so both e and g are in goose → so there is NO letter in “egg” that is not in “goose”? That would make clue 6 impossible.

That suggests I made a mistake.

Wait — let me double-check:

Clue 6: “The last letter is in [egg] but not in [goose]”

Picture shows eggs in carton → “eggs” plural? Maybe we should consider “eggs” not “egg”?

Original says: “in 🥚🥚🥚” — three eggs → probably means the word “eggs”

Similarly, “goose” is singular.

So let’s use “eggs” and “goose”

“eggs” → e, g, g, s → unique: e, g, s
“goose” → g, o, o, s, e → unique: g, o, s, e

Still, all letters in “eggs” (e,g,s) are in “goose” → still no difference.

Wait — maybe it’s “chicken” vs “ghost”? No, picture is eggs and goose.

Perhaps the intended word is “omelet”? Let’s try.

Omelet: o,m,e,l,e,t — 6 letters, edible.

Clue 1: first letter o — in “sheep”? sheep: s,h,e,e,p → no o → no.

Not working.

Wait — let’s go back to “pickle” — almost worked except last letter.

What if the last letter is something else?

Another idea: maybe the sixth clue is “in ‘cake’ but not in ‘duck’”? No, pictures are eggs and goose.

Wait — perhaps I misread the pictures.

Looking again:

Clue 6: “in [carton of eggs] but not in [flying goose]”

Maybe the word for the first is “carton”? No, that doesn’t make sense.

Perhaps it’s “egg” as in the object, and we take letters from the word “egg”, and “goose” as the word.

But as above, no unique letters.

Unless... “egg” has two g’s and one e; “goose” has g, o, o, s, e — so same letters.

This is a problem.

Wait — perhaps the intended answer is “pickle”, and they meant “goat” instead of “goose”? But the picture is clearly a goose.

Another thought: maybe “goose” is considered to have letters g,o,o,s,e — and “egg” has e,g,g — so if we consider frequency? But the puzzle likely ignores frequency.

Perhaps the last letter is “d” — but “d” not in “egg”.

Let’s try a different approach.

List all clues again with possible letters:

Clue 1: in “sheep” not in “gorilla” → possible: s, h, e, p (since g,o,r,i,l,a are in gorilla)

Clue 2: in “fish” not in “brush” → fish: f,i,s,h; brush: b,r,u,s,h → so f,i are not in brush → f or i

Clue 3: in “cat” not in “bat” → cat: c,a,t; bat: b,a,t → so c is not in bat → c

Clue 4: in “key” not in “eye” → key: k,e,y; eye: e,y,e → so k is not in eye → k

Clue 5: in “lamp” not in “man” → lamp: l,a,m,p; man: m,a,n → so l,p are not in man → l or p

Clue 6: in “egg” not in “goose” → as discussed, no such letter? Unless we consider “eggs” and “geese”?

“eggs” : e,g,g,s
“geese”: g,e,e,s,e → still same letters.

Wait — what if the second picture is “ghost”? The picture looks like a ghost flying? Oh! Look at the image description: "but not [a flying ghost]" — is it a goose or a ghost?

In the user's initial description, it says: "but not [a flying ghost]" — wait, in the text you provided, you said: "but not [a flying goose]" but in the actual image, it might be a ghost!

Let me check your original message:

You wrote: "6. The last letter is in [eggs] but not [a flying ghost]"

Oh! In your text, you said "ghost", not "goose"!

Look back:

"6. The last letter is in 🥚🥚🥚 but not 👻"

Yes! It's a ghost, not a goose!

I misread it earlier.

So clue 6: in “eggs” but not in “ghost”

“eggs” → e, g, s
“ghost” → g, h, o, s, t

So letters in “eggs” not in “ghost”: e (because g and s are in ghost, e is not in ghost? Wait, “ghost” has g,h,o,s,t — no e!

“eggs” has e,g,s

“ghost” has g,h,o,s,t — so e is in eggs but not in ghost → perfect!

Also, g and s are in both, so only e qualifies.

So sixth letter is e

Great!

Now let’s rebuild:

Clue 1: first letter in “sheep” not in “gorilla” → s,h,e,p available. We’ll decide later.

Clue 2: in “fish” not in “brush” → f,i (since s,h are in brush)

Clue 3: in “cat” not in “bat” → c (a and t are in bat)

Clue 4: in “key” not in “eye” → k (e and y are in eye)

Clue 5: in “lamp” not in “man” → l,p (a and m are in man)

Clue 6: in “eggs” not in “ghost” → e (as above)

So far, we know:

Letter 3: c
Letter 4: k
Letter 6: e

So the word is _ _ c k _ e

And it’s a 6-letter edible word.

Possible words: pickle, ticket (not edible), hockey (not edible), etc.

“Pickle” fits: p,i,c,k,l,e

Check if it matches all clues:

1. First letter p: in “sheep”? yes. In “gorilla”? no → good.

2. Second letter i: in “fish”? yes. In “brush”? brush has b,r,u,s,h — no i → good.

3. Third letter c: in “cat”? yes. In “bat”? no → good.

4. Fourth letter k: in “key”? yes. In “eye”? no → good.

5. Fifth letter l: in “lamp”? yes. In “man”? man has m,a,n — no l → good.

6. Sixth letter e: in “eggs”? yes. In “ghost”? ghost has g,h,o,s,t — no e → good.

Perfect!

And “pickle” is something you can eat.

Final Answer: pickle
