The second one. Done! It's spelled and pronounced either way. Hence all that mumbled distraction between lines 3 and 4. Sorry, it didn't look too bad when first written. I blame the rhyme.
Guess you've now see these have been solved. I know these look so much easier/simpler when they're solved than they really are but, you gotta admit, the tendency's to over complicate. The last one #3 is the simplest of all but only if you know what play on words to look for. So...
Well hello John_B and welcome. If you care to look, the last recap was on post #97. Have established the common thread for each of the five words, too, somewhere since then. If instead you just want to plug thru by your lonesome...
That's hilarious that you think I might laugh (smiling only). Not nursery but see where you're coming from. This one's a little different than my previous *Quickie* pows. Not breaking down the answer into letters per se but more like *POW, my second riddle* (using hole words for the most part).
& that's the last of my brainpower for 2:30 AM. Maybe after sleep ...
So yea, indeed. You got the connection. Am thinking this will suggest several possibles for the other three words and then they can kinda be fit to puzzle.
Not this type for #4, tho. Work with the other one you had mentioned for this one.
