Different Sizes, Colors and Shapes
What comes in different sizes, colors and shapes but creates a larger whole?
A jigsaw puzzle piece.
If You Lose Me
If you lose me, others around you may lose me too. What am I?
Your temper.
Memory I Have But I Have No Mind
Mouth-less but I will tell you a name that is not mine,
I will show you the years I have seen but I have no eyes,
Memory I have but I have no mind.
What am I?
A gravestone. The stone bears the name of the deceased and the memories and recollections of their life are represented by the grave site.
Garlic or Spice
Before any changes I’m a garlic or spice. My first is altered and I’m a hand-warming device. My second is changed and I’m trees in full bloom. The next letter change makes a deathly old tomb. Change the fourth to make a fruit of the vine. Change the last for a chart plotted with lines. What was I? What did I become? What did I turn out to be?
clove
glove
grove
grave

What I Embrace I Destroy
My first two letters say my name.
My last letter asks a question.
What I embrace I destroy.
What am I?
Ivy. IV is pronounced ivy, y is pronounced why and fast growing ivy can smother and kill trees, shrubs and grass.
Lighter Than What I’m Made Of
Lighter than what
I am made of,
More of me is hidden
Than is seen.
An Iceberg.
I Am Both Safe and Secure
As a whole, I am both safe and secure.
Behead me, I become a place of meeting.
Behead me again, I am the partner of ready.
Restore me, I become the domain of beasts.
Stable. A table is a place of meeting. Able and ready is a common phrase, and a stable is where beasts reside (beasts of burden, not beasts like the one in Beauty and the Beast who lived in a glorious castle but the west wing was forbidden to enter until Belle…I’ve said too much!).
