Aunt Hildegarde's likes and dislikes are fickle - reflecting the letter structure of the relative she has most recently visited. Can you name a relative she might have visited based on her new preferences?

 

1. She won't play BRIDGE, but enjoys WHIST.

 

2. She goes to the RACES, but she doesn't like HORSES.

 

3. She hates LIES, but loves the TRUTH.

 

4. She likes an ORANGE, but not an APPLE.

 

5. She doesn't like GREECE, but she loves ATHENS . 

Answer:

 

Aunt Hildegarde might have visited Cousin CANDY, Uncle FRANK, or any relative whose name could drop its first and last letters and leave a valid word.
