Here is how this works:
i will give a few hints (they will be grouped together), and every couplet equals a letter.
Example of one couplet:
The letter in a powerful emotion,
but not in stay alive
^
Those words are 'love' and 'live'. So what is the letter in love, but not live? O - so o is the 1st clue!
There will be multiple couplets. Arrange the letters in order, or scramble the letters (i will tell you which one at the beggining of the puzzle), and find the word!!
REady??
The letters are in order!
The letter in 'a very strong word' that is not nice
but not in the time that will not suffice.
The letter in a linking part
but not in a money to support
The letter in a gift to a getter
but not thumbs-down-you-can-do-better
