This is another game where logic will make you win...

The idea of the game is to find out what can go past 'The Green Glass Door' and the first person to work it out wins,simple you say  ;)                                                         

Behind the Green Glass Door:

Attend classes at school or college but not courses at a university.

There are no clothes but there are speedos.

There is grass but no dirt

There are books but no shelves.

There is a moon but no sun.

There is hell but no heaven.

There are paddles but no oars.

What can get through, can't, but what cannot get through, can.

The person to work it out makes another puzzle and so on....

Anything with a double letter;

Attend classes at school or college but not courses at a university.

There are no clothes but there are speedos.

There is grass but no dirt

There are books but no shelves.

There is a moon but no sun.

There is hell but no heaven.

There are paddles but no oars.

If that's right I'll post mine tomorrow (going out in 25 mins).

Carthaginians but no greeks
windows but no rooves

is it that the latter terms are all 'catch-all' terms?

else I have no clue, word puzzles are not my thing

Nope.

The dutch and italians may pass, but not the Germans French or English.

The opossum is fine, but the antelope, the snake and the badger are not allowed.

There are days but no years or weeks.

Carthago Nova, London, Norwich, Birmingham, Paris, York, all these ctities pass - but not Rome, Amsterdam, Bejing, Seoul, New York, or St Petersburg.
