Riddles

[Anthony2019]

Years ago, when I used to go to parties, my friends used to introduce riddles for us to solve. They were were sometimes good fun but at other times incredibly frustrating because no-one could work out the answers! And even more annoying when the solution should have been so obvious!

Here is a thread for you to post riddles for us to solve. They can be long ones or short ones. Here's one I have found to get started.

What is in seasons, seconds, centuries and minutes but not in decades, years or days?

Rearrange the letters

It suddenly occurred to me that one word was an anagram of new door!
