Our 11th Kappa Puzzles Online Contest closed August 15, 2007. A new contest will appear soon. Here was the challenge:
All Voweled Up
Every time a vowel (A, E, I, O, or U) appears in a word in the list below, a different vowel has been randomly substituted for it; that is, sometimes an O has been substituted for an A, but sometimes an I, E, or U has. When you have discovered the correct vowels, you will then be able to divide the words into four categories, with four of the “repaired” words fitting into each category. The four categories are the answer to the contest.
