Default Time for some riddles....

Seeing as it's the end of the week I thought you'd all like some nice riddles to do.

I'll give 10 tokens for each correct answer.

1. A word I know, six letters it contains. Subtract just one, and twelve is what remains.

2. What English word starting with 'B' has three consecutive double letters?

3. What is the next letter: W I T N .. ?

4. What is a five letter word which becomes shorter with two letters added onto it?

5. What object has keys that open no locks, space but no room, and you can enter but not go in?

Enjoy
