Does each word have to be exactly seven letters long and use each letter once?
Or might they consist of words that are smaller or larger than seven letters in length, each of which is some combination of several or all of the seven letters?
No aspirer to glory, he parries the blows
Of the rapiers that threaten his life;
Then quickly repairs to an inn that he knows,
Where the host is no praiser of strife.
Gemma and Mehmet
How about:
No STRANGER to glory, he NEGATES the blows
Of the GANGSTERS that threaten his life;
Then quickly RETREATS to an inn that he knows,
Where the host is no TARGET of strife.
This puzzle was very strange…
Hey there Shawn- each word should be 7 letters long. Also, each word uses the 7 same letters (in different order).
sorry about the confusion
No ASPIRER to glory, he PARRIES the blows
Of the RAPIERS that threaten his life;
Then quickly REPAIRS to an inn that he knows,
Where the host is no PRAISER of strife.
This was a fun way to spend some time.
No ASPIRER to glory, he PARRIES the blows
Of the RAPIERS that threaten his life;
Then quickly REPAIRS to an inn that he knows,
Where the host is no PRAISER of strife.
Nice one!
No aspirer to glory, he parries the blows
Of the rapiers that threaten his life;
Then quickly repairs to an inn that he knows
Where the host is no praiser of strife.
aspirer
parries
rapiers
repairs
praiser
great puzzle!
You’re right, this is hard!!
can come up w/any number of 7 letter words, but can only rearrange them into 3 more words, at most. Great puzzle, though. I will soldier on, thanks. z
Keep trying, Zenith
since only a few correct answers have come in, will leave this up another day or 2,
I see it now!! I thought each of the 7 letters had to be different, but it doesn’t actually say that, so:
No ASPIRER to glory, he PARRIES the blows
Of the RAPIERS that threaten his life;
Then quickly REPAIRS to an inn that he knows,
Where the host is no PRAISER of strife.
aspirer, parries, rapiers, repairs, praiser
Congrats to LadyInsomnia, Bizarette18, Shawn, Cheddarmelt, Ludiavolo, Bobo the Bear, Gemma and Mehmet- this one was really hard
aspirer: No ____ to glory,
parries: he ____ the blows
rapiers: Of the ____ that threaten his life;
repairs: Then quickly ____ to an inn that he knows,
praiser: Where the host is no ____ of strife…
raspier: …he spoke ____ than the others.
Another 7 letter word! JFG - Just for grins
Oh no, I focused on the wrong man in the picture! Well, I’m fairly certain that no 7 letter word for “takes one in the chest” also solves this puzzle.
mad respect shawn for figuring out a workable alternative for it.
