you only get to post if this is the first time youre seeing these, and you came up with an answer without googling

1. What is an eight letter word that has only one letter in it?

2. remove six letters to form a word

B S I A N X L E A T N T E R A S

3. What occurs once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in an hour?

4. What starts with T, ends with T, and has tea in it? (obviously this one doesnt work in writing, but i like it)

5. Here on earth it is true, yesterday is always before today; but there is a place where yesterday always follows today. Where? (from BooGiMaN)

6. My first is in bridge but not in ridge.
My second is in awake and in mistake.
My third is in danger but not in ranger.
My fourth is in flange and in orange.
My fifth is spline and in wine.
My last is river and in diver.
My whole likes the darkness.
What am I?

nope, it's fine

ah..an envelope for number one

yup 🙂

maybe the other version people have heard is:
"What is a word that starts and ends with 'e' and has one letter in it?"

How do you know the envelope doesn't have two letters in it? Or no letters at all?
Is there a term for people who pick away at jokes/riddles like this? 😛

OdiN.

At least it isn't as stupid as some of the "riddles" I've seen posted on ATOT
 
Actually i usually hate people who do that, but hes right with this one, not uncommon to have more then one letter, and so you feel kinda "duh"
