Five Transformations
Riddle:
A 4-letter word shows life. Reversed, it shows shame. Rearranged, it’s cruel. Rearranged again, it’s a Jew. Once more, it hides a beauty. What are the five words?
Answer:
Answer: Live → Evil → Vile → Levi → Veil. Explanation: Each anagram forms a different meaning: “Live” becomes “Evil” (opposite of life), then “Vile” (cruel), then “Levi” (a Jewish name), and finally “Veil” (to cover a beautiful face).
