A simple telepathy test: which word did I write?

I've seen a few of these tests previously and somehow I prefer to choose an answer before even opening and reading the post. Having only seen the title, I assumed there would be four words to choose from. I pondered very briefly and then said to myself, the correct answer is "moon". After that I opened and read the requirements, how did I move from my word "moon" to one of the given words? I didn't see any connection in terms of meaning, then I turned to the number of letters in the word. This is where I considered either the 4th word in the list or the only word which itself had four letters. Hence I chose 'rice'. But I consider my application of logic to be less valid than the initial act of picking a word from the air. Still. I stay with 'rice' as my answer.
