I can be repeated,
But often not in the same way.

I can't be changed,
But can be rewritten.

I can be forgotten,
And can also be lost with death.

My first is in horses,
But not in ponies.

My last is in pretty,
But not in beautiful.

What am I?

Answer

History.
Hide

What Next?

cloughme Aug 07, 2007	Excellent!!
coolpainter Aug 07, 2007	The "h" and "y" gave it away easily.
solotrvlr1 Aug 07, 2007	not today.......too tired to even try....yawnnnnnnnn....but it was a good one anyway.....i just need to get some more sleep......
bradon182001 Aug 07, 2007	I did get this one, but I thought the horses and pretty references threw me off, so I doubted my answer of history. Good, no great teaser!!
4princesses Aug 07, 2007	That was good! The thing about horses and pretty, should've helped me, but I got thrown off by it too!
gaylewolf Aug 07, 2007	Great teaser! BRAVO!! Loved the way it was written. Thanks!
puttumup Aug 07, 2007	yawn
iteachkids Aug 07, 2007	GD one, Lucky!!!
wordmama Aug 07, 2007	I can't believe I got another riddle!!! Well written!
Harmony_Girl Aug 07, 2007	Wonderful! This is going straight to my favorites list!
auntiesis Aug 07, 2007	I was thinking History or Biography, but the B was not in horse so I went with History. Great clues. Loved it, Thank You !
katjojo Aug 07, 2007	I think an explanation would make it better. Ponies and horses??? What is that all about?
jcann Aug 07, 2007	Katjojo, you have to compare the two words and discard any shared letters. That would leave you with h and r from horses to choose as a first letter of the answer, and with p,r, and y for the last letter. That was actually the clue that gave me the anwer when I went back a reread the other clues. I enjoyed this riddle! Good job Luckythirteen!
cheeny13 Aug 07, 2007	I was thinking it could be truth but it didn't work with the last two clues. I didn't think of history so needless to say, I gave up... Anyway, great teaser!!
Spammy Aug 07, 2007	History is rewritten every generation - history is just agreed upon lies.
scallio Aug 07, 2007	Cool... ...but I failed to solve it! Great teaser!
shawneeo Aug 07, 2007	History is not "agreed upon" and it's not "lies". History is a version of the past. Not everyone agrees upon it, and it's not a "lie", but it's only one truth. That was a good teaser!!! It was JUST hard enough, for me, but not impossible! And of course i got it, or I wouldn't be saying it was great! No, I'm not that petty. (really he is, but, humor him) Anyway, "handwriting" was a good alternate answer, except that it ends in "g". Thanks!!!
maryannd26 Aug 07, 2007	wow I can't believe I didn't figure that out.
kittycat663 Aug 07, 2007	i feel dumb..i cant believe i didnt get it! oh well..cute one!
2ndhandrose Aug 07, 2007	I think I would have gotten it if I tried for a couple more mins. I was going along lines of Memory then realized H was 1st letter Y was last. Still nothin' THIS WAS A FUN ONE!! Must have missed it cause I don't like History, I think I mentioned that B4. I wish I could submit something too & that good
wandering_goat Aug 07, 2007	Excellent!
mondayschild59 Aug 07, 2007	It was a wonderful teaser, well written, but I missed the heck out of it. My brain hurts . Monday~
sbuske Aug 07, 2007	I also thought it was a fun teaser. I like the ones most people get. Hard enough to make you think, and yet still solvable. Some are just to outrageous.
speedqueenkmw Aug 07, 2007	great!!! I actually got it
J_H_R Aug 08, 2007	Great one !! Took me a bit of time but I finally got IT!! Keep up the good work. Love to challenge my brain Thanks
