(Thank you, JTGirl!)
Hm.
Okay, another quick one:
A horse is tied to a 15' rope. There's a bale of hay 25' feet away from him. Yet he can still eat the hay. How?

1. A phantom, born in every heart, each night born again and each day dies. 2. like a flame, but not a flame, it grows cold in death, but conquest makes it flare. Alanc got the second one, blood, but the first is still free to be solved. A hint for those that need it, they are both taken from an old play(opera?). |

There are three words in the English language. What is the
third word? Everyone knows what it means and everyone uses it
every day. Look closely and I have already given you the
third word. What is it?
Answer: "language".
This puzzle has circulated widely on the Internet for some
years, but usually in an abbreviated form such as "Name three
common English words ending in 'gry'", which has no good third
answer.
Aggry is a third word in the English language that ends with gry, but not everyone knows what it means, nor do they use it every day.
Aggry Definition:
\Ag"gry\, Aggri \Ag"gri\, a. Applied to a kind of variegated glass beads of ancient manufacture; as, aggry beads are found in Ashantee and Fantee in Africa.
Current Riddles:
1. How did they finish the pickling job?
2. What is the next letter? W I T N ...

W I T N  as in an abbreviation or as in a word? |

Post by Hermione on Mar 23, 2006 4:59:48 GMT -5
"L" is the next letter.
Something and Nothing both have the same "o" sound right before "thing", so that's pretty close. The only other way you're going to get close is to get the 'om' with a different unvoiced fricative sound before the 'ing'.
