There are many possibilities for this. PALM could be the odd one out as is is the only one that cannot be used as a collective. REAM could be the odd one out for two reasons. 1. It has no decenders when written in lower-case. (note that the title of this problem also has no decenders, a very obscure clue...) 2. It's the only one who, when letters are transformed to numbers (a=1, b=2, ...) the sum is odd. SAGA could be the odd one out for two reasons. 1. It's the only word that cannot be used as a verb as well as a noun. 2. It's the only word that cannot be anagrammed into another word, such as PLUM, MARE and LAMP. There may be others. See what you can come up with.
