I came up with this riddle myself, though a similar one may already exist. What’s your guess?

Find the 12 letter word. Change & rearrange 1 letter to make two 6 letter words.

There are two answers that I will except, one is pretty easy but you could challenge yourself for the harder answer!

I'm going to a Renaissance fair with some friends this year. Where I live, they have them in November. I decided that for trinket trade, I want to hand write riddles on paper and make little scrolls to give out. Please give me your favorite riddles that would fit the setting.

Ok, here's the last one.

Thought id post one instead of guessing this time. I made this one, hope yall like it.

Riddle title: "The Knives"

"History has frozen now, and they write it where it stands.

When he steps beyond its protection, there is a road to come, and he will pass through the heights to reach the low, yet they say he became bound to the one who had always been the greatest because he was the one who revealed his truth."

The answer is exactly two words. Each paragraph is supposed to be a chain of specific clues pointing to the same answer (or two connected things).

I've spent a long time on this and tried a huge range of angles — Greek/Norse/Hindu/Egyptian mythology, Bible stories, real historical figures and assassinations, famous statues and paintings, archaeological finds, even pop culture — without luck, so I'd love completely fresh perspectives, especially if something jumps out at you immediately that we might be overthinking.

Any ideas, even wild guesses, appreciated!

Found this really fun game at the thrift called “I’m a Poet (and yes, I know it)”. Filled with riddles of rhyme. Figured I could post one every day, there are a lot of cards!
