I'm trying to understand the fuzzy boundary between "puzzle people" and "non-puzzle people". So here's a short puzzle. I'm curious about your reaction, especially if you don't consider yourself a "puzzle person." In the comments section, please tell me what you think the answer is, what your thought process is in trying to extract the answer, and whether or not you'd self-identify as a "puzzle person."

I believe the answer is CORRECT.

For a few moments I thought the puzzle was as simple as reading the phrase minus the trailing letters--maybe you were testing something by posting such an incredibly easy puzzle? Then I considered sorting the words by their trailing letters for a moment, and then the "correct" method presented itself. I think the sorting letters being close to "ABCDABCD" in order threw me off for a bit.

I consider myself a puzzle person. Also someone three weeks behind on LJ.
