Question

It makes things happen

Around the world.

To the amazement of

Both boys and girls.

Easy for the chosen few

For the rest of us a chore.

Unless imagination is lacking

Always wanting more.

Known by most of us

Either written or heard.

Let me know when you have it

Just say the WORD...

On par with averages,

It is not very rare.

Yet also like greed,

Ah... Don't give me that stare.

Redress is a good one,

Threads is a stretch.

If that gives you the answer,

Then I must say "nice catch."

Okay. So, looking at the hint:

On par with averages,

It is not very rare.

Yet also like greed,

Ah... Don't give me that stare.

Redress is a good one,

Threads is a stretch.

If that gives you the answer,

Then I must say "nice catch."

Is there some sort of value attached to each letter? At first I was thinking anagrams, but that didn't work as (as far as I could come up with) there are no single word anagrams to "averages". So. Numbers. Sums to averages, redress, threads, and possibly nice catch. Next step is to figure out the letter of each value, and another word with the same value that fits the clues.

..Or am I over-thinking this?

Not necessarily over-thinking, just thinking in the wrong direction... Thinking about th, and visualizing will definitely help

If only you had something nearby with letters on it to help :unsure:

Better might not be the best word... But it's a safe bet that they could type the answer to this riddle (and the other words) faster

Go back and look at the other hints I've dropped and it shouldn't take long :D

Yeah, I guess you didn't see my edit.

Averages, rare, greed, stare, and redress all typed lefty while threads uses the aid of one right finger.
