    Default EP Riddle Game

    Just thought I'd see how well something like this would work after making sure we didn't have an active one already (or did I miss something) Rules are simple: One guess per person for every 5 posts, or if a certain time (let's say a day for now) has passed with nobody else guessing. Winner either makes a new riddle or passes. And obviously, please don't look up answers.

    Guess I'll kick things off.

    I am the beginning of the end, and the end of time and space. I am essential to creation, and I surround every place. What am I?

    What English word has three consecutive double letters?

    Hint: I'll be using a "Tricky" answer for this one.

    "Woolly"? Two Os, two Ls and a W (pronounced "double U").

    That would be the traditional answer, but the hidden hint did say I was going for a tricky one

    Yep. Well, I was actually thinking "Woollen", but that's close enough

    Not to be an uptight person, but a "tricky" answer is very vague. Muscab's answer was more legit lol

    anyway let's see the next riddle Elin

    If I'd made the hint more explicit I figured I'd accidentally give it away

    Oh, I didn't actually think I'd be right. :'D Not very good with riddles, but here's one a friend told me back in high school:

    What five letter English word has an identical pronunciation even if you take away four of its letters?

    Guess I'll revive.

    I turn polar bears white
    and I will make you cry.
    I make guys have to pee
    and girls comb their hair.
    I make celebrities look stupid
    and normal people look like celebrities.
    I turn pancakes brown
    and make your champane bubble.
    If you sqeeze me, I'll pop.
    If you look at me, you'll pop.
    Can you guess the riddle?
