Hard
Find the odd one from the following group:
W,E,K,O I,Q,W,A F,N,T,X N,V,B,D
- AW,E,K,O
- BI,Q,W,A
- CF,N,T,X
- N,V,B,D
Explanation
In each group, track the alphabet-position gaps between consecutive letters (cycling A-Z as needed). W,E,K,O: gaps 8,6,4. I,Q,W,A: gaps 8,6,4. F,N,T,X: gaps 8,6,4. N,V,B,D: gaps 8,6,2 (V to B is +6, but B to D is only +2, breaking the expected 8,6,4 pattern). N,V,B,D is the odd one out.
