Good Morning Everyone

The game I will be posting starting Wed. will be all about “BRAIN TEASER” please don’t look up any of the answers, because it’s all in your head. Any way the brainteaser will get harder as the game goes along. For all that know me, when playing a game I can be cunning, deceiving, misleading, unrepresentative, and to be regarded with suspicion. With all that being said here is sample of what it will be like come WED!!!  the game will only be posted on Wed and Friday at 8am and the answer will be posted by 1pm.
 
Which is the odd couple? Find how these pairs were formed, then decide which does not belong with the other four.
1. HIS and MIST
2. LUSH and PULP
3. LOFT and SOUND
4. WIDE and NINE
5. HIKE and SEED
Answer-Wine and Dine

So now that you understand What the “brain teaser” will be about look forward to starting the game Wed.

P.S. if your answers don’t match the one I have but do fit requirements of the question it will be considerate to be correct
