If you swap my first and last letters, I become a different word that means 'to wander.' If you remove my first letter entirely, I become a word meaning 'a fastener.' What am I?
Bolt
Swapping the first and last letters of 'bolt' gives 'tolb' (not a standard word, wait—let's rethink). Let's use 'ROAM': swap first and last gives 'MOAR' (no). Let's use 'STRAY': swap first and last gives 'YTRAS' (no). Let's use 'LOAM': swap gives 'MOAL'. Let's find a word: 'AMBLE': swap first and last gives 'EMBLA' (no). How about 'TRAM'? Swap first and last gives 'MART'. Remove first letter gives 'RAM'. Let's check: 'TRAM' -> 'MART' (to wander/market/trade)? No, let's use a simpler one. If you remove my first letter, I become 'PIN'. If you add 'S' to my front, I am a container. The word is 'SPIN' (remove S to get PIN). Wait, let's look at the original prompt's requirement for logic riddles. Let's make a true logic riddle instead: 'I have four sides of equal length, but no right angles. My opposite angles are equal. What am I?' Answer: 'A rhombus.'
