This one even stumps the hell out of me. What do you think the third picture is supposed to be?

People stumped by simple homework question asking kids to guess a three-letter word - saying 'adults with advanced degrees' couldn't solve it​


"A confused parent turned to the internet to ask for help with their young child's homework after being left baffled by a take-home worksheet.

The puzzled mother, believed to be from the US, took to Reddit to share a snap of the homework, leaving social media users scratching their heads.

The woman, who goes by the name @thea_from_julliard, wrote: 'Several adults with advanced degrees could not solve this kindergarten homework.'

The homework revolved around matching a three letter word with the picture next to it, while also offering the first letter as a hint.

The first was easy enough, depicting a picture of a baby bear beginning with the letter 'C' for 'Cub', while the second was an illustration of the sun beginning with the letter 'S'.

However it was the third picture that confused a lot of adults, with some saying the kindergarten question must be a typo.

The image showed a smiling woman wearing a headdress and a long gown with her hands clasped in front of her.

While some claimed the answer should be 'nun', the puzzling part was the word started with a 'W'. "

I give up. I see a friar or clergyman in front of a window, but I don't usually do well with this type of puzzle. Answer?
 
W A G - A joker a humorous person. The figure has a smile so maybe that's the answer.

W E D---according to the Teacher but to me it doesn't describe the person. But it one of the words that came to mind.

I think those are words that are a bit advanced for kindergarteners though.

Maybe it is just a dumb question created by an educational curriculum used by teachers that was simply in error. Excrement happens! Pretend it is a hurdle and get over it!
