Find a single letter that replaces the first letter in the two words of each row to make two new words. What word is formed by combining the new letter of each row?
For example: PLANK _ BRISK
The new letter is F, making FLANK and FRISK. And F would be the first letter of the answer.
Putting the information in a table makes it easier to solve. We’ll use A for Angie, B for Brenda, T for truth and F (false) for lying.

To begin with, there aren’t any days where both of them told the truth and lied the day before, so we know one of them must be lying.
So we have two options, either Angel is lying or Brenda is.
Option 1. Angel is lying.
In order for this to be the case, she needs to be lying today and telling the truth yesterday, so we need two days in a row with T F. And if Brenda is telling the truth, she would need two days with F T. That means we’re looking for two days that have
Angie: T F
Brenda: F T
Option 2. Brenda is lying.
This is just the reverse of the above, so we need to find:
Angie: F T
Brenda: T F
The only day that matches either of the two options is Thursday, and it’s option 2. Brenda is the liar.
