I Always Tell the Truth
You see me quite often,
But don’t really care.
If you pass by me,
You’ll often stop and stare.
I can’t speak or see,
But don’t think me uncouth,
Because no matter what,
I always tell the truth.
What am I?
A mirror.
I Tell You When to Start
I tell you when to start,
Or remind if you forget.
I smash others to break them apart,
But I’m pushed by another of me.
What am I?
Cue. A cue tells you when to start, or if you forget your lines in a play. A cue ball is used to break at the beginning of a game of pool and the cue stick is used to push the cue ball on the break.
Another interesting tidbit is that cue is how you spell the letter q if you’re writing it out.
Seven Letters and Something You Eat
I have seven letters and am something you eat. My only anagram can help your pain. If you remove my first 2 letters I wear things down. Removing my first 3 letters is an adjective and removing my first 4 letters leaves a measure of time.
What am I?
Sausage. You eat sausage, assuage is the only single-word anagram and provides relief from pain. Usage wears things down, sage is an adjective and age is a measure of time.
I Can Be Broken Yet I Hold On
I am a word with two meanings. With one I can be broken, with the second I hold on. What am I?
Tie. A tie score can be broken, but when you tie a knot (as in a necktie) it holds together.
Leaves That Don’t Fall
I have wood but no bark,
And leaves that don’t fall,
I am made up of branches,
and come in sizes of all.
I am completely devoured many times,
over and over by a worm of a kind.
If you want to know the answer of mine,
look for the secret that I’ve stored inside.
What am I?
A library or bookstore.
Subtract One and Twelve Remains
A word I know, six letters it contains, subtract just one and twelve remains.
Dozens, dozen.
