Analysis of Riddle From The Inquest
The inquest is a repression
leading to a muzzle
The answer is a confession leading to a puzzle
The inquest is a blistery
leading to an upsurge
The answer is a mystery leading to a resurge
The inquest is a risky jink
leading to a wrangle
The answer is a interlink leading to a tangle
The inquest is a snickery
leading to derision
The answer is a trickery leading to revision
The inquest is a dilemma
leading to an impasse
The answer is an enigma leading to a morass
The inquest is a misbecome
leading to a fiddle
The answer is a conundrum leading to a riddle
The inquest is a bully force
leading to a humbug
The answer is a low course leading to an unplug
