Thursday Morning Riddle

Thursday, May 21st, 2020

I’m a rope made of wires, not easily bent;
I’m a message of text from a diplomat sent;
Just before I joined X-Force, through time I first went;
And my premium channels cost many a cent.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m to offer examples of what you maintain;
Common gambit in bridge; use a gun to obtain;
To lift over your head, in despite of the strain;
How to ask for a pause; or to likewise detain.

Who am I?

Thursday Morning Riddle: Special Edition

Thursday, May 7th, 2020

Today, I offer two riddles. They have different answers, but you only need to respond once.

Enjoy!

I’m to put down the lid: I’m to shut the front door;
I’m a salesman’s intent; end the day for a store;
I’m to sign for a home; hold discussion no more;
And quotation marks after what’s quoted before.

Who am I?

* * *

I’m a shave that is clean; I am not very far;
When you just barely win; quarters tight where you are;
Strong relationships; Fatal Attraction’s big star;
And I’m almost correct, but you win no cigar.

Who am I?
