An Arranged Matrimony
 |
| no. | Solve | Word Riddles |
| 1 | A Skull in a jar | I'm the decomposed spot for a hat or a crown; though trapped under water; it's too late to drown |
| 2 | A Bloody Sword | At my sharp steely point, you'll find blood has congealed; I strcuk quicker than someone could block with a shield |
| 3 | A Key ring | We're a metal collection with teeth most unique, granting passage through doors when it's access you seek |
| 4 | A Pair of tongs | To pick up an item that's too hot or cold, I'm the grabbing assistant which you must first hold |
| 5 | A Green rat | Though you'd think that my diet would consist of cheese, if you are what you eat, I've been eating green peas |
| 6 | A Mounted bee | I once buzzed about from the spring until fall, but I'll fly nevermore since I'm stuck to the wall |
| 7 | A Map | Before treasure hunters begin excavation, they must first proceed to my X-marked location |
| 8 | A Bunsen burner | I haven't an engine, although powered by gas; I'm typically found in a chemistry class |
| 9 | A Jar marked with XII | My marking may indicate error or theft; while I ought hold twelve herrings, only three are left |
| 10 | A Pair of binoculars | When I'm held in your hands and pressed to your eyes,distant objects grow in their apparent size |
| 11 | A Lit candle | I'm a fast melting tower of medium height; not brand new, or burnt out, but newly alight |
| 12 | A Black widow spider | Should you see the red hourglass mark I disply, and were I not pinned to a board, run away! |
| 13 | A Mounted fish | Created for show, on a fisherman's whim, I wait on the wall where I'm too stuffed to swim |
| 14 | A Mounted deer head | Though my head is hanging, I shan't hang my head; my eight points are mighty! Then again, I'm quite dead |
| 15 | A Straight razor | When a face is disheveled or in disrepair, I'll tidy it up by removing some hair |
| 16 | A Gold ring | Sparkling bright, I'm a beautiful band; not of musical type, but belonging on hand |
| 17 | An Envelop | Once loaded with letters, my glue is made damp, my top's folded down and my corner gets stamped |
| 18 | A Pocket Watch | Round and attached to a chain like a locket, I'm a time piece oft kept in a gentleman's pocket |
| 19 | A Letter 'A' | I'm an excellent grade and a vowel in a "square', the center of "car" and a first third of "air" |
| 20 | An Anatomy book | When repairing a liver, a lung or heart, you'd best read me so you can tell them apart |
