Welcome to rec.puzzles...
Either we'll answer it within a few hours, or we'll not be bothered with it
at all. Either way I'll be very surprised if the thread is still active in
two weeks!

I hate to be the one to say it, but I don't think that each new entry
is adding much to the puzzle. Maybe you needed to arrange your new
entries such that the original puzzle is "very hard." Then, with the
first new entry, it becomes "pretty hard." And with the second new
entry, it becomes "pretty easy."
I read the lists somewhat carefully the first time. After the first
new entry that added nothing to my understanding, I stopped
altogether.
The guy that posted "Yawn" was probably saying the same thing I am,
but less kindly.

I got nothing. Perhaps you can mention a few similar words that do
not fit? Does luxurious fix? objectionable? xxyzz?

OK. Let's try again.
1. The following list of twelve words (rot13) share a common
characteristic. Decode the words three at a time to see how many words
you need to identify it. If you can, thne try to find another word
with the same characteristic which is not a synonym for any word on
the list.
Pbjneqyl, Unezyrff, Rynobengr,
Raivbhf, Pbzzhavfg, Qrcerffrq,
Abacbyyhgvat, Ohernhpengvp, Eblny,
Znahny, Ener, Thvygl

3. The following institute pairs each share a common link. The common
links for the six pairs share a common property. Find another pair of
institutes which form a similar pair such that their common link also
shares the common property.

There are only three things wrong with your answer. One is that you
are supposed to post a list entry, not the common property. If you
correct the other two, then you will have the common property.
