  1. Not even Grammie gets to play

    game

    not even [take the odd letter] GrAmMiE = gets to play

    Put it in gravy for more importance

    gravity

    Put IT in GRAVY -> Gravity = more importance

    Hello, DudleyDude. Those are both correct! :thumbsup:

  2. Hello again! In the spirit of some of my other puzzles this riddle has an answer for each line and together they have a theme.

    A revolutionaries heart changes over time

    And Peter, Paul or Mary circle the line

    Battery barter, I hear them say

    Not even Grammie gets to play

    Disorderly conduct has an odd smell at first

    And bemused gabbing will make a large burst

    Moving, yet trivial correspondence

    Put it in gravy for more importance

    Half of the alphabet, one hundred tiny things

    What used to count for less feelings

    A desert god had once agreed

    Danger may be found in seed

  3. breakwater

    Yea! tiger_lily111, that is it. :thumbsup: Was it the original clue or the riddle that did it for you?

    I noticed a typo in the bonus/hint riddle above. It should read:

    Fall through thin ice? its a little bit wrong,

    Or before some hard labor for mother?

    The levee did this in the name of one song,

    And I heard it weren't this in another

    That was fun and a little different type of puzzle for me. Thanks for playing! :lol:

  4. Good morning hugemonkey.

    ceasefire?

    Good morning, Wilson. Sorry, that is not what I was thinking of. I see how that fits, too, so I will give you partial credit.

    Fall through thin ice? its a little bit wrong,

    Or before some hard labor for mother?

    The levee did this in the mane of one song,

    And I heard it weren't this in another.

  5. 8 again

    then were you thinking of moonlight

    :duh: I guess there are many answers for that.

    Pitch in?

    Sorry, Wilson, that is not it. :wacko:
    moonshine
    I gotta give you credit for coming up with two answers that fit that were not what I was thinking.
    sweet
    Or maybe it is more confusing now.

    Underdog

    Optimus Prime

    Optimus [best] + prime [2 or 3] = Optimus Prime [semi, truck]

    You got it!

    11. Optimus Prime. "Best two or three" = optimus. Not sure where PG got prime from, though

    A little slow, but yes that is it.
