Riddle
Riddles are little poems or phrases that pose a question that needs answering. Riddles frequently rhyme, but this is not a requirement.Riddle
My first is simply a vegetable, delicious, round and green.
My third and fourth are sound asleep, as plainly can be seen.
My fifth is fifty, clear enough for any riddle-setter.
Two of my second stacked on their sides will give my final letter.
Now that my second has my parts, fit them together well.
You see me now before your eyes; it's plain for all to tell.

Had me PUZZLED for awhile. Good eye opener.
WOW I was first today. Did everybody sleep in?
Yep. I was puzzled also at first, but got down to business and actually solved it. Great teaser. Thanks for posting, GrilledCheese.

Great teaser, took me a minute to get started, but then it came easily. Loved it, want more.
Clever and cool teaser!
Like second hand Rose, I didn't get the U, and unlike most, I didn't get the 'puzzle'. But I did like it (Is Simply simple anything like hardly hard?)
Definitely wasn't simple...until I looked at the answer. The 'E' part seems a bit of a stretch, though. Nevertheless, good PUZZLE.
Easy one, loved it!!!
Good teaser. Had me stumped.
I GOT ONE!! If I can do a puzzle it must be too easy. Good job making this one.
Hey Grilledchese, I got this one I'm so happy I never get the riddles right
Thank you
Thank you
I loved it and I got it. I was thinking pizza at first but then I finally realized two "u"s on their side and on top of each other would look like and "e". I REALLY LIKED IT!!!!
I got part of it, but the two u's stacked together gave me a w the way I print. It was a cute one though and fun trying to figure out.
PUZZLED ME!! I got the P ZZ and L but couldn't think of a word which had those FUN!!
Took me a second look, put I got it. At first i was thinking pizza too, but couldn't figure how the L fit in, until I realised I had missed the two Us hint. Then it became obvious. Yes, the two u's stacked on their sides don`t make a perfect E but what other letter could it even remotely resemble?
OH the irony of a riddle about a puzzle
Beauty
Hmmm ... rated this one easy the first time around, but not today -- it had me puzzled for sure. I think my brain wants to be asleep today for some reason. It has a mind of its own.
I was trying to make pizza too then I started over more carefully and worked it out.
Nice puzzle.
Nice puzzle.
Overall, I liked this one , but I didn't like the 2 U's on their side making an E - it's a little too much of a stretch. Still good, though.
Easy, but fun!
Ho Hum!!

simple; nicely done
I had the P ZZL so I was on the right track. I had to cheat and look at the answer. Now I feel stoopid. If I had just stood back and looked at the letters it was plain as day.
Good one. Took awhile, but I got it.
Hey catmom=STOOPID- that was a stupid word.
Hey catmom=STOOPID- that was a stupid word.
It would have required more than the one cup of coffee for me this morning Cute!
Good but I didn't get it, I might have had the clue been, "a noise in sound sleep as sure as can be heard."
I definitely didn't get it on my own, but that was a really neat teaser. I looked up the answer, read the first two explanations and then figured out the rest. Awesome teaser!
Puzzle came to mind as soon as I got P and ZZ
Enjoyed the teaser; it was fun and easy and did not take long to figure out.
Nice, fun teaser, although I don't find peas delicious?
Clever and fun. Appropriate title.
Great one! Although I agree with the person about about peas not being very delicious
hi im new... anybody wanna chat?
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got it even quicker the second time around.
Rather erroneous. Like other people say, 2 u's forming an E is rather sketchy. And the last line, You see me now before your eyes, is simply false. The answer is not visible at that point.
