    Default What's in a Word?

    This riddle game is fairly simple.

    The riddlemaster gives a small word and a description of some sort of a larger word that contains the small word.

    Here is an example;

    What "ant" has little or no meaning?


    Ans: insignificant


    Ok

    Someone start this show.

    Your answer could be good if it had been a romantic question but this shine really makes things clean.

    Moonshine is practically all alcohol, and alcohol can be used as a polish. It cleans everything.

    The sunshine thing, I have no idea.

    1. Moonshine is practically all alcohol, and alcohol can be used as a polish. It cleans everything.

    2. The sunshine thing, I have no idea.
    1. Woooow! I can learn new thingd every single day. (moonshine and alcohol?? is it a slang or what?)
    But anyway... when we talk about alcohol our first thought is not polishing...
    If I thad thought of moonshine as alcohol I would have asked: "Which sine makes you drunk?"
    But I am not a native speaker so I can accept if you say Zone was right with it.

    2. Now I am not alone with it.

    Roland would have understood.

    Letti: Ah I see - the word is spelt machine though, which is probably the reason for some confusion so chine = "sheen" sound, shine = "shyne" sound

    he he he, dont worry about it though!

    What mental relates to trying something new?
