Made of Five Letters and Seven Letters
I’m made out of five letters,
And I’m made out of seven letters;
I have keys but I don’t have locks,
I’m concerned with time, but not with clocks.
What am I?
A piano. The word piano has five letters, and the scale on the piano is A through G, seven letters. The piano keys don’t have locks and playing piano requires you to keep time (but with a metronome, not a clock).
A House With No Doors
I am in a house with no doors. There are people inside but give no reply. Who am I?
A fish. A fish bowl or aquarium is the fish’s house and the people inside are the decorative divers that offer no reply (one might ask how the fish knows, given that they aren’t a talkative bunch themselves).
Five Letters Sound Like Six When Pronounced
What five-letter word sounds like six letters when pronounced?
Cello. The pronunciation of c is ‘ch’, making it sound like the word has 6 letters.
A Medication of Three Parts
I’m a medication with three parts. The first part is the surname of someone who has been a Mary and a Maria. The second part is a vital organ and the last is plentiful in the ocean.
What am I?
Andrews Liver Salts, an antacid. Julie Andrews played the role of Mary Poppins in the movie of the same name, and Maria in the Sound of Music. It’s tough to live without a liver and a taste of the ocean always includes a touch of salt.
The Peace Maker Weapon
What weapon is also a peace maker?
Note: Think homonyms
A knife. It turns things into pieces.
Tall in Morning, Short at Noon
Tall in the morning, short at noon, gone at night but I’ll be back soon. What am I?
A shadow.
Four Against the Masses
We are four against the masses. We are trying to find the one who is the whole package. We sigh, we laugh, we frown while we hope that the next one will be the one. Who are we?
Four orphaned siblings. It seems like there may be a better answer than this. If you have one, please add a comment.
