Twice in apple


My first is twice in apple but not once in tart;
my second is in liver but not in heart;
my third is in giant and also in ghost;
whole, I'm best when I am roast.



Scroll down for answer and notes.










Poor pig: it seems cruel for him to say he is at his best when he is roast! I think I would change it to: "Whole, I like being muddy the most." I like the way one of these is "and" instead of the usual "not." And of course the "twice" in the first line makes that one a giveaway, and that makes it easy to figure out it must be a vowel second. So, as riddles of this type go, this is a fun and easy one.

Pig.
