riddle - A Quick Easy Riley


I've hit a road block with my story riddles and need to refresh my mindset; therefore, I am writing a quick and easy puzzle for the community to solve. Good luck to all of you!



Look for the prefix, in order of real teal; using this combo, I'll help you feel.


It's the suffix you seek, contained in all light; look at the table, 89 on the right.


Echoed the infix, two in a row; after the rain, you'll see quite a bow.


Study this riddle, and take your time; if you think hard, the answer you'll find.



Hint:




You’re stuck on this riddle, analyze each word; flip it, reverse it, unscramble each term.



Hint:



The prefix you need, tis not in a whale; but can be found, in a tree, on a trail.




Answer



Before the answer, big thanks to gabbo1092 for doing the hard work on this puzzle. If you like my answer, go upvote his as well.


The word is




Truth



Explanation


Acrostic



The poem's acrostic spells out LIES, implying that we need to find the opposite or reverse of what the hints point to.



Look for the prefix, in order of real teal; using this combo, I'll help you feel.



Real Teal start with the letters R and T. Flip them and you get TR




Echoed the infix, two in a row; after the rain, you'll see quite a bow.



This is a lie. the letter only happens once. But it is shapped like a rainbow, just upside down: U



It's the suffix you seek, contained in all light; look at the table, 89 on the right.



Element 89 is on the left (not right) of Element 90, which is Thorium TH. The letters TH are found in "all light" with the TH being reversed.



Finally




TRUTH itself is the opposite of LIES and thus fits the theme of the puzzle quite well.
