And on the topic of 'word' riddles, try this one:

A word that begins with the letters "he" and ends with the letters "he".

There are two answers - the 'real' one and a cleverer one...enjoy!

More? OK:

A word in the English language that is always spelled incorrectly.

A word with a double 'k'.

a word that is always spelled incorrectly...would that be 'wrong" :?

Here's another one. What seven letter words becomes longer when the third letter is taken out?

I think the word that is always spelled incorrectly is 'incorrectly'

The seven letter word is 'lounger' Take out the 'u' and it becomes 'longer'

Kat's other 2 have me stumped... for now.

'incorrectly' is indeed correct ;)

The double k word may surprise you - I never really thought of it as having a double k but it does!

Lateral thinking might help on the other one...

I do know of a word with a double 'k'...

...but it is unsuitable for kiddies.

I always though "bookkeeper" had 2 Ks. But I could be wrong.

I suppose jackknifed probably does too :lol:

You wont find much better anywhere and it's nothing - a rigmarole with a few bits of paper and lots of spiel. That is Mentalism

That was the 'clever' answer - nice! There is an actual word but it's as fun to find...
