The Answer to the riddle has as many words as their are lines in bold. Each word or group of words describes a letter in that word for that line, read left to right, unless otherwise instructed. Answers are recognizable phrases.

Quickie:

Match Ending Blow Backward,

Finish First,

Emily's Nickname, Boat Accessory

Street after the Mailing Address Without a Package

Sometimes Followed by "Bingo!" or "You Sunk My Battleship!" ?

Exist, Made Past Tense, but Lose the Twin!

4, 3, 4, 4, 6, 3

Thinker:

All Before Twin Valleys: Comes After D, 2X Around Southern Debutantes, It can't be!

Chap Behind Tumultuous

Watering Hole, Not for Us, Feed on no Porterhouse Prefix, Just Passed a Stop for a Crying Bus.

6, 3, 6

As always, show your work to get full credit!

Okay, one more post before bed.

Match ending blow backward

- Match ending blow = knock out = KO

- Backward = direction for KO = OK

Okay

Finish First

- Won = ONE

One

Emily's nickname, boat accessory

- Emily's nickname = Em = M

- Boat accessory = oar = ORE

more

Street after the mailing address without a package

- Street = ST

- mailing address = PO BOX

- without package = PO BOX - BOX = PO

- after = direction locating ST after PO = PO ST

post

Sometimes followed by "Bingo" or "you sunk my battleship!"?

- B4

before

Exist, made past tense, but lose the twin!

- Exist = be = B

- made past tense = ed ed

- but lose the twin = direction of what to do with ed ed = ed

I think this is brilliant. I have one question, though. Where did you get the extra "twin" to be lost? Why is "made past tense" two of them?

All Before Twin Valleys: Comes After D, 2X Around Southern Debutantes, It can't be!

- Twin Valleys = V V = W

- All before = direction that the last letter is W

- Comes after D = F (as in grades at school)

- 2X around = 2 times a round = O O

- Southern Debutantes = Belles = Bell

- It cant be = remove B from Bell = ELL

- around = direction that O O is around ELL

Dont really even know if that is what Scottie had in mind.

to make past tense you would add ed or "ed" it. so made past tense might be "eded" it?

Oh, wow! I had to read that four times before I saw that it was "made" and not "make." Wow, good one.

Watering Hole, Not for Us, Feed on no Porterhouse Prefix, Just Passed a Stop for a Crying Bus

- Watering hole = loo

- not for us = not you = -U

- loo - u = L

- feed on = EAT

- no porterhouse prefix = no t-bone prefix = no t = -T

- EAT -T = EA

- just passed = D (as in grade in school)

- a stop for an ambulance = emergency room = ER

99% Correct!

Exist = BE

Made Past Tense = ED

Lose the Twin = -E

BUT, you both right in your MADE vs MAKE, so your logic fits better than my own!

95% Correct (according to my logic). But since it fits 100%, I'll just show you my logic.

2X = 2 "eggs" (phonetic), eggs = 00 = OO (from a guess at one of your previous riddles)

Southern Debutantes = Belles - STAYS PLURAL

It Can't Be = remove B

ELLES = L's = LL (phonetic)

Around = Directional of where to place "eggs" - around LL

Right Answer Word, Wrong Logic.

Chap = HE = Correct

Behind = Directional = Correct

Tumltuous = T... but how/why?

Again, correct word, wrong Logic.

Watering Hole (wrong word)

Not For Us (wrong word, right idea with "subtraction" of letters)

I'm leaving for a few hours, so I won't be here to monitor the thread... but most people are asleep still anyhow.

Take a few more stabs and I'll check back later!

One last stab

is it well? with "Not for Us" meaning not we leaving L phonetically?

As for T from tumultuous, am going to have to concede on that one. Would love to know...

[plainglazed]

Cant seem to get that T from tumultuous out of my head. See you're close by so here's my last post.

[spoiler='Chap Behind Tumultuous

']Can the *behind* direct both the location of HE (from Chap) and the left most letter of *tumultuous*? Maybe??

[Guest]

chap= he

behind = after AND directional

tumultuous he after = the rate BUT now i can't get rid of rate. Unless it is Follow the rate leader (Follow the right leader?) phonetic
