0 Guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Nope and nope. Btw, nasil is supposed to be nostril. It wasn't a typo... I just got a bit mixed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DudleyDude Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 I looked at the first letter of each word and this gives "Second Last Letter (K)" So, taking the second to last letter of each word (except 'kicks') gives: NOW TI TLEA EAGRA MO (kicks) I thought that 'kicks' may be further instruction to rearrange the letters but I haven't found anything yet. NOW could also be OWN or WON, TI could be IT, TLEA could give LATE or TALE or TEAL, but I can't words for the last two lines. I did try dropping all of them into an anagram machine but didn't see anything promising in the results. So I just wanted to check if I was reading the 'second last letter' clue properly or if I'm off base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Oh crap, I made a mistake! Replace "then" with "triumphant." My baaaaaad. But yeah, you're on the right track, one more step and then it's a simple guessing game to the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 huge snoot? Hahahaha, wow, that's not one of the ones I saw. When I made the riddle I figured I'd accept any good anagram, but there was one I had in mind, representative of me making you go through a bunch of different steps to arrive at no answer. But I now realize I had the wrong idiom... English is my first language (and my "second" sucks), but I was really sleepy last night, when I made the riddle.

0 Guest Posted July 12, 2009 Report Share Posted July 12, 2009 Yep! I remember the first riddle I saw by HM, Seven, was the similar find-the-right-letters kinda thing. Btw oneacross and anagramatic are really helpful sites. I did about half the riddle getting words that would fit off the top of my head, and the other half by using oneacross Glad you liked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
