And back to work.... Regarding a hint. Guess I had mentioned to Chess_Vixen I might. Then posted two I told you about and even another since. Granted the two I told you about are pretty obscure. Oops! (pure sarcasm and not another hint). But OK, here's a another. Even make it all official like:
-
Yeah MrsP was thinking that or maybe the opposite Strange in a cool way that they both kinda fit, huh?
-
gonna throw a guess at this one
-
Since being on this POW kick, cant switch back to WAIs. Mention this only as explanation of my guess....

Hey no fair, you've done these before. Not it for Line 3. This "Quickie POW" are more like yours where individual letters add up to make the word.
-
It stands for "play on words". They often include things like antonyms or synonyms (double meaning), literal interpretion, homophones, etc. They will often be accompanied by a descriptor word or phrase like "sounds of" or "aloud" for homophones; "in other words" "not" "like" "never" for ants. & syns. In the case of my quickie POW's (yes, hope there will be more) each word or two (generally speaking) of the puzzle corresponds to a letter spelling out the answer and other descriptors can be thrown in refering to the relation of individual letters. Here are two examples I had put in another post. asp arched shape around kid --asp is a snake which is "S" shaped --arched again shape yields "C" --around or phonetically a round or "O" --kid meaning to make fun of or tease = "TT" Put it all together and get SCOTT Golly, a circular well graded and raised track --Golly or gee = "G" --a circular = "O" --well graded as in a test at school = "A" --raised track or el = "L" So you get GOAL

Maybe it'll help someone else. Hopefully won't just make everyone confused! Nice work. You really have a lot of the concepts behind the words of Line 2. Including what I thought would be the hardest. Just not the full solutions (of all) the letters in the answer. Was going to give a hint. I know too many correspondences can confuse. You're just so close. Would suggest rereading my original hint regarding the methodology of solving this puzzle. Like I said was going to give a hnt. Now think that could spoil it. Gotta leave the room. Feel free to talk among yourselves. Will check in from time to time.

Been a great riddle for me but if that's not it, am getting off this ride. Too good!

Okay--all day on this one for maybe obvious reasons that's all that comes to mind.

Hello and welcome back, love your logic on the word "safe". Will have to remember that one. So yeah, fraid not what I was thinking. Brilliant none the less. Am thinking about posting a clue soon.
-
Yes, I definitely looked at the hint for help. One thing that did throw me off the track a little earlier was:
-
have been a ponderin this for some time. Now, with help of the thread guess
-
Most excellent riddle!
-
Yes, when one word equals one letter, you can pretty much just run through the alphabet until you come to a sensible match. Nothing yet on line two.
-
Am stumped Lotus. Will keep on trying to make sense of this clever riddle.
-
The first word is solved! Reasoning is spot on. Excellent, please do keep going. The next two lines are increasingly tougher.
-
two out of three, then. oops!
-
not really liking this answer but it's the best I've come up with so far. Had to say something, at least, in appreciation of this fine riddle. Will continue to enjoy now.

That was cruel. Heyupal, you play for keeps! This will be with me for hours and my head is already swimming.
-
And thanks for the preface!

I dont get it. Starting with the parenthetical "easy" in the title. OK, will keep studying.
