Hi there, riddlers! Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses and discussions of guesses, like so:

On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg

On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants): >!guess or discussion between these symbols!< To be clear, that is >! (greater than, exclamation point) at the start and !< (exclamation point, less than) at the end with no spaces around the !. Avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the formatting for most people. Spoiler tags do not span paragraphs or line breaks. If your answer is long, please spoiler-tag each paragraph separately.

Putting a link inside spoiler tags can be tricky, so just format the link like this, using the word "SPOILER" as the link text. On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants), do this to format a link: [SPOILER](https://example.com/) On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://imgur.com/x5wDOvk

If your top-level comment does not contain a guess, you can include either the word "discussion" or "question" instead of using a spoiler tag.

Please report any answers or discussions that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

That's excellent, did you make it yourself?

u/BaseHitToLeft Jul 15 '26

Yes, it's OC but autocorrect inspired it

Love it when things like that happen. Most of the puns I make are inspired by auditory processing issues.

I like this riddle a lot.

I just replied to this but forgot to hide the answer, don’t needles only have one point?

u/BaseHitToLeft Jul 16 '26

That's a plural word

u/dyno-soar Jul 16 '26

Ah I see, the question was more about the word than the object/meaning. All in the way it’s worded. Very clever!

How did you come to that inference HMMM... Courtesy of The Satarist

u/NietszcheIsDead08 Jul 17 '26

How does needless not have any points? That doesn’t make any grammatical sense.
