word - A short, brutal riddle



Left alone, I'm a word with five letters.


I'm honest and fair, I'll admit.


Rearranged, I'm of no use to trains.


Again, and I'm an overt place, warm and well lit.



What am I?



Answer




I believe the answer is



LIAR



The riddle was tricky (as indicated by the title) and each of the lines is



a lie.



Left alone, I'm a word with five letters.




The word is actually 4 letters



I'm honest and fair I'll admit



Obviously, a liar is the antithesis of honest and fair.



Rearranged, I'm of no use to trains.



RAIL, an anagram of LIAR, is an incredibly important facet to the function of trains.




Again, and I'm an overt place, warm and well-lit.



LAIR, another anagram of LIAR, is a hidden, dark place, the opposite of the adjectives provided.



I could be way off track but I have a good feeling that this is it.
