0 Guest Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I really can't think of anything. And I wanted to get something out here before I left work. But its too late now, great riddle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 Am i correct in assumingthere are 6 letters in the word? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted May 19, 2009 Report Share Posted May 19, 2009 I'll tell you how many letters are in the word. 7. I can't really tell you how the riddle works, because that's the point of the whole riddle. But, I will tell you that the couplets go towards one idea-they're together. But, only one of them has one letter, the other two couplets represent "three letters." I hope this helps a little and not too much.Am i correct in assumingthere are 6 letters in the word?

0 Guest Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 A small hint to get things goingIt's a 3 part word. The first stanza is the clue to the word/how to work the riddle. The last three are parts of the word. More than that I will not say for now. I reread that second stanza. I think I wrote that harder than I intended. I may reword it later if you guys need. But, if you guys think you have part of the word, please say, and help me out, here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) ATTENTION!!! I thought that second stanza wasn't right. And Palmer just verified it for me. I am changing that stanza. Letters and words, jumbled and mixed. See if you can solve the riddle I’ve fixed. Used quite often, to which I pertain, One singular amount which my letters contain.

0 Guest Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 (edited) Okay, I'll tell you all, FOUR is not right. And SLURR/BLURR is really close to what I'm looking for. Keep digging in that area. It's not a VERY commonly used word, but used, nontheless. Remember to use the "smudging tool" and combine that idea with the other line in the couplet. Tsk=no. I'll play along--:']for/four;blurr/slurr;task;tsk? Thanks guys for trying. I think you won't be disappointed when you find the answer. And, I'll help out a lot.

(I am really proud of this riddle) I know, I'm sorry I had to give all the clues. But, I don't think anyone would muster the courage to try and solve it, if I didn't. It was a tough one (I think).
