Riddles!
This topic is about short riddles, because not everyone likes to do the larger logical puzzles. If you do like those, then click here.
If you've guessed the riddle, you can immediately post another one yourself. Let's keep it going.
I will start with this riddle:
What is easy to get into, but hard to get out of?
My first sounds much like something true,
My second sounds much like a lie;
But what is spoken like my whole,
Let no one venture to deny.
@DarkWolf
Is it like "Truly " hahha, i mean tru =true and ly = lie
@niceDaisy36 like your new pic Daisy🤗
@Butterflee
Thanks butterflee
@niceDaisy36 the saying is very true in your pic
@Butterflee
Yeah , thats my all time favourite quote
@DarkWolf the competition is hot in here!😂 i didn't even have time to think😂😂😋
My first is what you're doing now,
My second is procured from stone;
Before my whole you often stand,
But mostly when you are alone.
@DarkWolf door? Do and ore?
@Butterflee
Nice try.. but that's not it. I'm going to be honest and say this riddle will be very difficult. Mainly because the hints add up to a word that we don't widely use anymore.It's like an 'old' word.
That said.. if you see the word you'll know the modern word too. Let's see if someone can get it before I give hints.
@DarkWolf
Pls dont give hint, let me try this one hahah
Is it something like Looking glass?
cause currently as looking at the laptop screen riddles and glass its basically the sillica and sand or we can refer to it like stone perhaps may be.And we often stand in front of the looking glass.
Your riddle forum thread is helping my brain to work hahha, thanks for it
My first is a color, my second is a workman, my whole is a workman. What/who am I?

My first is a noble animal, my second is lord of creation, my third a vessel, my whole is an art. What/who am I?
(P.S. Please don't comment in the old 'logic puzzle' thread anymore. I made a new thread (click here to go there). I'll start posting a lot of new puzzles there.)
@DarkWolf (I give a kingdom for that book of yours😂😂😂)

@lazyKatz
That's the correct answer.. And yes, I'm sure the previous guess helped you a little bit
My first in every store is seen,
My next affords us light;
My total you will see, I ween,
When you've bade friends good-night.
@DarkWolf Good night! (my brain is fried😂) goods are in stores and night affords us light.
Is it a lamp
@lazyKatz
Nope, it's not a lamp.
@DarkWolf it's Good night!
@Butterflee
That's not the answer to it is.. but considering your situation.. we can definitely say goodnight
@DarkWolf😔😔😔😔
Without much conviction I'll try glass.
Can I change that to window
@lazyKatz
You can, but I'm going to help you out here.
I thought other people might know the word, and it was mainly just missing out of my vocabulary. But apparently it's a very very old-english word, so that makes this riddle pretty much impossible. I'm sorry for that.
The right answer was counter-pane, meaning bedsheet.
@DarkWolf
That was a great riddle. The little grey cells as Poirot would say have really been working over time.
@DarkWolf it's good to learn old words, thus we can readeth old books🤗
@Butterflee
We are definitely learning here
With some of these ancient riddles it's a bit hard to decide if they are guess-able or not, but it is going really well so far!
Side note: we have a new trivia topic in thinking space! Feel free to check it out if you like trivia 'here'.
Here's one with an answer that's definitely known.
What is that which is too much for one, enough for two, but nothing at all for three?
@DarkWolf secret...
@Butterflee
Secret is correct!
@DarkWolf just plain common sense...
@Butterflee
I try to also ask some slightly easier riddles sometimes. Because I know there are some people out there who aren't as good in solving riddles..
