Monday Edition
Good Morning Members! And Happy Monday! I hope you had a nice and relatively relaxing weekend? I kind of did. I actually spent my weekend removing built-in-wardrobes from two bedrooms, and let me just say, it was a lot harder than I thought it would be, and I do not recommend it as a ‘fun activity’ to any of you. Although, it was kind of fun getting to smash a few shelves here and there! 😉 Anyway, enough about me, I know what you’re here for, and it’s not to read about my weekend; it’s to crack the first riddle of the week! So here it goes:
What English word has three consecutive double letters?
This one is a surprisingly challenging one? I thought I had it straight away but the word I thought it was only had two consecutive double letters, not three (I’m clearly no riddle master). So have a good think about this one. If you think you know the answer, post it on our riddle masters thread here and if you get the answer correct, you’ll score yourself a shoutout in tomorrow’s newsletter!
