0 andromeda Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 could it be a gradient? im kinda stuck on the color going dim. No. A Star No. (check the subtitle) The last c (peacock) or e (phoenix) No. It is either Wh for white, or Ye for yellow? Nice thinking, but no! but first line is two letters OK! I decided to help cause I like seeing my puzzles solved as soon as possible! HINTS I start with a bright color, - 2 letters And continue with a dim, - 1 letter You mark me with two letters, If you don’t know who I am, - clearly it's 2 letters I continue with no tale and Become excited as I go, - 3 letters I end with the middle of a brilliantly colored bird. - 1 letter It's not easy, but everything makes sense and there are no extra words that are just there to make it rhyme, every line and every word count!

0 andromeda Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Ok, give another trial line 1, 'sh' for shine line 2, just 'a' become sha line 3&4, just 'hi' line 5&6 still thinking last line is 'r' I start with a bright color, - this one is much more complicated that you think And continue with a dim, - if you get the previous one this one is easy, you get it the same way you do the first two letters You mark me with two letters, If you don’t know who I am, - think out side the box, WAY outside the box!!! I continue with no tale and Become excited as I go, - both of these lines describe the same thing, first I only wanted to go with the first line but it would have been way to hard, so I added the next to make it EASY I end with the middle of a brilliantly colored bird. - you didn't say what bird Woon - but yes, it is 'R' You gonna like the riddle when it's done, I think this is my best one so far!!!

0 Guest Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 You said every word counts, so I think in line 1 it has 6 words, so I look for a word with 6 letters that is a color and start with a "I", so is it Indigo? then like which two letters? the second line it has 5 words, so 5 letters color too, but I don't get the "dim" part. Or maybe it's all wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this line you gonna have to stretch further than that! But It says there are two letters and by writing down 'so' and 'sb' you guessed one of the two letters Read all the spoilers maybe they'll help you, or read my previously posted riddles on the bottom of this post to understand how I compose them.

Question
andromeda
