You could be right that there's a simpler way but this fits everything he's already told us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original idea was to get a group of words with similar letters, but still distinguishable, and distinguishable in different ways.

0 Guest Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) Nope... you can't guess it, you gotta use the stuff that comes after the rhymes The given words don't mean anything. They were selected for their letters I'm starting to feel bad about putting this puzzle in a riddles section... =/ Don't. I think it's fascinating, and I haven't even gotten to the end yet. Then again, I like both the word and the math/logic puzzles (especially logic...) Well, I got to the end, and I still liked it. Welcome!

Question
Guest
There was once a young boy
Who lost his favorite toy.
He had a four letter nickname
That I'd like to know.
I'd also like you to reveal
How did this young boy feel?
Initials are good for last name.
Now find the answer below.
n, t, h, e, s, d
start
tires
tests
tasted
tithes
tents
If you seek more assistance
You'll have to seize it this instance
With a writ of assistance
But I won't let you seize this
Because I can take the which,
Which amendment?
--
I hope this is as hard to solve as it was difficult to create! I also hope I didn't screw it up somehow, and that it is solvable, lol
By the way, the name is pretty rare, but the feeling is not
