    This fails because the first one reads as “soldier” to most people, I’d say the vast majority of native English speakers would think “soldier”, not that he’s a Navy Seal. Especially because My first thought for a Navy Seal would be coming out of the ocean in a wet suit.

      Seems like you got hung up on that. Order shouldn’t matter.

      I got the three ‘seals’ at the bottom, though.

      Same, but that made me assume the other ones have to seals as well and then the navy seal was right there.

      I think it works well as a riddle.

        It got me too. Even when I got to the animal seal I just assumed it was there for something else and the meme made no sense.

      They are all seals.

      • navy seal

      • some kind of seal on a pipe

      • wood sealant

      • seal on a letter

      • seal the singer

      • seal (animal)

        Thanks. English first language here and it went right over my head. But then the first was a soldier to me.

          Same, which lead me to think the second was some sort of solder pot. So, then I thought there was some word close to soldier and solder for the third picture of the paint/stain brush that I didn’t know.

          I got the three ‘seals’ at the bottom, though.

        British English took over for me, It was ‘obviously’;

        Soldier, bushing, varnish.

        Seal, seal, seal.

        Couldn’t work out why the top row was with the bottom row at all.

        (There are no ‘navy seals’ to us, it’s SBS - special boat service, like SAS but bad-asser, and more secret?)

    The wax seal doesn’t work that way - the stamp should be inverted.

      I think assuming a fuck up is a valid interpretation. Another explanation could be that stamps sometimes have a top that shows the final look and size of the stamp. I know that’s not usual for a wax seal, but there’s no rule saying you can’t.

    I think this might work better with 4 frames since 3 of these images show items that fall under the same definition for seal since their purpose is to prevent something from getting into/out of somewhere.

      I think the singer doesn’t count either since that’s someone’s name which could be anything in any language. Also the navy seal is named after the animal. It’s 2 frames. “Seal” the animal and “seal” the keep stuff in/out

    That’s not fair though as navy seals are named after the animal.

    Also, you can use a word in different contexts, to seal wood and to seal something shut is similar actions

    Try reading Japanese without kanji and see how rough it get with all the homophones.

    They have 3 alphabets and its called a “writing system” because of it.
