Following on from the What I Will Take to MNHQ game.

I like coffee but I don’t like tea

Bloody hell, I was overcomplicating it.

I like lemons but I don't like grapefruit.

Got it 👍

Thanks!

Can you help with what the rule for the other game taking to HQ was...that stumped me!

TheGreenBow · 14/01/2026 09:29

I like cleaning but I don’t like tidying

TheGreenBow · 14/01/2026 09:33

It took me ages to work it out and I needed the clues! So simple and so difficult at the same time - loved this puzzle, thanks OP!

Where there is a will there is a way

No admittance if you say can, please or may 😉

I like spiders but I don't like centipedes.

Whosthetabbynow · 14/01/2026 11:15

Nope. Still not got a clue

Look at what the words we don't like have in common and say OP's first clue "I like coffee but I don't like tea" out loud to yourself a few times. Saying it out loud helped it finally click for me.

Yes just say the first one out loud, don’t recite them all out loud over and over again to your DH like I did the other night 😂

Second this advice.

The first one gives you the rule you need. Saying most of the other ones out loud doesn’t actually help.

What would the OP not like about your user name? 🤔

I gotcha 👍🤣🤣

Whosthetabbynow · 15/01/2026 08:46

I like worms but I don’t like termites. (Tell me I’m right) 🙏🏻🤣🤣🤣

You are correct!

ArtTheClownIsNotAMime · 15/01/2026 08:58

...I mean, erm, I can confirm the accuracy of your words.

Whosthetabbynow · 15/01/2026 11:45

@ArtTheClownIsNotAMime Or my worms…
