english - Single Speak - Twice the same word


I've checked out the Double Speak puzzle and really liked it, and hoped to get more of it, which I did. My thirst has not been sated though. Because of that, I've devised a collection of 20 riddles that need some rewording. The correct answers should give the same word twice!

  • Hand a token

  • Save what's left


  • Unpleasant grid

  • Abandon permission

  • A just market

  • Make a movement
