Riddle 1:
He got it in the woods,
and brought it home in his hand
because he couldn't find it.
The more he looked for it,

and when he finally found it,
he threw it away.
Riddle 2:
An eye in a blue face,
saw an eye in a green face.
"That eye is like to this eye"

"but in low place, not in high place."
Riddle 3:
Every creature has seen it,
but to their dying day,
they'll never see it again
Riddle 4:
Look at me from the front,
I am somebody.
But from behind,
I am nobody.
Riddle 5 – some of you may recognise this from the film “Labyrinth”:
You come to two doors. The doorknockers talk to you. One tells the truth and the other always lies. One door leads to death, the other to freedom. You can only ask ONE doorknocker, ONE question. Who do you ask, and what is the question?
Riddle 6:

More evil than the Devil

The one that uses it never sees it.

There is a common English word that is nine letters long. Each time you remove a letter from it, it still remains an English word - from nine letters right down to a single letter. What is the original word, and what are the words that it becomes after removing one letter at a time?
