Letters of the Law - example added

There are some weird spelling rules at work here! To decode each list, you'll have to figure out what its rule is. First, see if you can recognize the category to which the words in a group belong. Then identify the pattern to the weird spellings. Finally, think of another member that would fit the category AND provide the "rule" for the funny spellings.

For example, given the group Cappams, Larsonams, Schulzams, Trudeauams is comprised of the names of cartoonists with the letters AMS added. So ADDAMS becomes the new member that works for the list and defines the rule.

2. Winona Ryder movies
the letter t is between o and h
Experimenother

Correct category, correct change, wrong example. The example has to explain the rule, not just follow it.

These are very, very tough puzzles.

1. types of shoes
replace the letter D with the letters ox
ex: glaoxiators

OX FOR D

Nailed it!

The example is Oxford. Gladiators doesn't fit the category.

4. Actors on Star Trek series
ex. McNell

Add an i before or after l, m, n, o, p

You're on the right track, Fil.

3. These are all salt water geographical locations with at least one word of the name containing the adjacent letters ea, the rule being that b is inserted before ea and an extra e after ea, thus another example would be The Dbeaed Sbeae (unless perhaps ea has to be contained between consonants).

That would be another good example, Lex, but it doesn't define the rule of change.

3. Bering Sea ( be rings ea)

Ta daaaaa!

Snbeaeky!

Very much so!

4. Star Trek actors
missing letter "i"
Take i

Yes!

A shot in the dark here...

2. Nigh T O near T H

You're an excellent shot, Redz!
