Please tell me i have finally got it.

I like swimming but I don't like water

BakeOffRewatch · 13/01/2026 17:05

Oh. My. God.

I just got it. @Planesmistakenforstars i honestly had no idea and then when you realise it’s like the chaos lining up neatly!

From @MargotMoon’s genius original “I like coffee but I don’t like tea” I am confident the following are right:
I like Vance but I don’t like Trump.
I like make-up but I don’t like beauty.
I like films but I don’t like TV.
I like wellbeing but I don’t like health.
I like chicken but I don’t like roast.
I like singing but I don’t like showtunes.

@BakeOffRewatch

It's not "my" thread, so I'm not going to post the answer, but read the opening post again - out loud - and you will have said the answer 😉

This did help a lot thank you. Still took me like 20 times saying it out loud to get it though.

@BakeOffRewatch

I like puzzles but I really struggled with this one. Once the penny dropped there was a lot of "Oh FFS" chez Fopar, but that's what makes them fun.

At last!! Bit too much help given in the end. I shall now go and try to get myself into the secret meeting at MNHQ. Thank you @MargotMoon for setting the puzzle and all the contributors who have kept me entertained.

Wrong thread!

I’m completely stumped!

I like flowers but I don’t like weeds.

You like both flowers and weeds. You don’t like twigs and trees though, and certainly not ants!

goldtrap · 13/01/2026 18:55

I like Saja Boys but I don't like Huntrix.... (new game - guess what is on constant re-run in our house!)

You like apples and pears, but you don’t like nectarines or tangerines or dates.

JulietSierra · 13/01/2026 20:27

I like Blue but I don’t like turquoise.

I like soleros but I don't like twisters?

I’m I the only one who can’t figure it out!!!
I’m ashamed to say I’m going to need a clue.
I’ve said the correct ones out loud but still nothing!

Go back to the OP and read her sentence out loud. It might be easier to work out if you focus on what she doesn’t like.

(Sorry if this is too much help for everyone else)
