How does Monday differ from every other day of the week? | ||
| Virendra Pratap Singh (Emptyhead)

It comes after weekend. First day of week. The word begins with M. Office goers hate it. Named after moon rather then planet/sun. Is this the approach to solve this puzzle? | ||

It is the only day of the week with which one may add an 'n' to the end of it, and the resulting word accurately describes what the day will invariably be like? | ||

Virendra, It comes after weekend. First day of week. The word begins with M. Office goers hate it. Named after moon rather then planet/sun. THOSE ARE TRUE BUT THEY ARE NOT WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR. Is this the approach to solve this puzzle? COULD BE - BUT I WOULD START WITH GENERIC RATHER THAN SPECIFIC QUESTIONS | ||

STEVE, It is the only day of the week with which one may add an 'n' to the end of it, and the resulting word accurately describes what the day will invariably be like? THAT IS NOT HOW YOU SPELL MUNDANE! NO. | ||

Would this puzzle work in other languages? Would this puzzle work in every country? Would this puzzle work in every century? Is the word "Monday" relevant? Is the mythological background of the name "Monday" relevant? Does anything relevant happen on Mondays? Is this puzzle about the day Monday? about some person called Monday (Robinson Crusoe's less well-known second friend)? | ||

Christine, Would this puzzle work in other languages? NO Would this puzzle work in every country? NO Would this puzzle work in every century? NO Is the word "Monday" relevant? YES Is the mythological background of the name "Monday" relevant? NO Does anything relevant happen on Mondays? NO Is this puzzle about the day Monday?

Letters of the word relevant? M? o? n? d? a? y? Letters not in the word relevant? Anagramms relevant? Building other words from the letters of the word "Monday" relevant? Syllables relevant? Pronunciation relevant? | ||

Is the difference something that I? you? someone? does on Monday? that they don't do on other days? | ||
| Laura Kozma (Lkozma)

Is the song "Monday, Monday" relevant? Is Monday just different from the other days? Or different from all other words in the English language? Vast majority of other words? "MON" contains three letters in alphabetical order, although they are jumbled. Is this relevant? | ||
| Virendra Pratap Singh (Emptyhead)

Is the difference becuase of something people do on Monday? Is it because of something people don't do on Monday? Is it because of how the word Monday is derived? Would this puzzle work in other languages?NO Would this puzzle work in every country? NO Would this puzzle work in every century? NO So the puzzle only works for English? US English? UK English? International English? (The one they speak in say S Africa, India, Caribean) Is the puzzle something to do with what Monay signified in past? Is puzzle related to what Monday has started signifying now? | ||

Something to do with the word 'dynamo'? Is it, in fact, the only day of the week that can anagramise? | ||
| Steve Wort (Wizardofnz)
|
*beats self over head with dictionary* anagramise = to be annagramatised. | ||

***** SPOILER ***** Something to do with the word 'dynamo'? Is it, in fact, the only day of the week that can anagramise? MONDAY IS THE ONLY DAY OF THE WEEK THAT HAS AN ANAGRAM - DYNAMO. WELL DONE STEVE | ||

Somehow, I always manage to over-think your puzzles, Paul. That's a compliment, by the way... Very nice one. |
