Need an explanation, you say?
Well, I got you there too:
EXPLANATION:
This one is like a fun little puzzle. Let’s break it down together.
So, the riddle says “My first is in blood and also in battle.” That means the first letter of the word we’re looking for is in the words “blood” and “battle.” The letter “b” is in both of those words, right? So, the first letter of our word is “b.”
Next, it says “My second is in acorn, oak, and apple.” That means the second letter of the word we’re looking for is in the words “acorn,” “oak,” and “apple.” The letter “a” is in all of those words, so our second letter is “a.”
Then it says “My third and fourth are both the same. In the center of sorrow and twice in refrain.” This part is a little tricky, but it’s saying that the third and fourth letters are the same, and they’re in the middle of the word “sorrow” and two times in the word “refrain.” So, the letter “r” is in the middle of “sorrow” and it’s two times in “refrain.” That means our third and fourth letters are both “r.”
After that, it says “My fifth starts eternity ending here.” This part is saying that the fifth letter is the start of the word “eternity” and it’s also at the end of another word. The letter “e” is at the start of “eternity” and at the end of “here,” so our fifth letter is “e.”
Finally, it says “My last is the first of last, Oh Dear.” This part is a little tricky too, but it’s saying that the last letter is the first letter of the word “last” and it’s also in the phrase “Oh Dear.” The last letter of our word is “l.”
So, if we put all those letters together – b, a, r, r, e, l – we get the word “barrel”! And that’s the answer to the riddle. The letters fit all the clues in the riddle, so “barrel” is the right word. Yay, we did it!
Well, that’s all for today. See you on the next riddle!
