Good morning, I’m pleased to have completed Doc’s offering for this week without much difficulty. The theme showed up quite early in the game and this helped a great deal.
Now, a return to “A Puzzle by Radler” for an interesting challenge. I have no idea what the riddle is. Could you supply the numbers of the five answers so that I may attempt working out the riddle. Many thanks in advance!

2 of the words are tomorrow and yesterday...googling should easily give the riddle!
Matakari, 'attempting to work out the riddle' is ... not at all arduous!

PS Glad you managed Doc's puzzle, such as it was!

Thanks, roslyn251254 and NACW, this is becoming more and more interesting now.I think I'm on the verge of cracking this now. Am I right to suggest that "before" and "where" ( in what place )? And would I be going astray to think that the answer could be a dictionary? Thanks for enlightening me in advance!
Yes, Matakjari - you're finally seeing the light (a teeny wee bit, the rest of the puzzle seems to have had you faliling around in the dark)! Yes, to the dictionary.

PS Did you spot the link with the Spectator and the other thematic puzzle this week (the Side By Side one, also problematic, I think).

Question Author
Many thanks, NACW, the link from the Spectator leapt at me! I'll be returning now to Side by Side to keep me a bit quiet in the heat wave and I'll certainly be appealing for help from you if I'm still stuck!
Thanks, Matakari. 'Side By Side' should, I hope, prove less challenging now that you know what the two puzzles have in common!

Good morning, NACW, while I'm satisfied that I've got the answer to "A Puzzle by Radler", a few of my grid answers seem to be wrong because I've been able to spot only four of the five leading to the riddle, namely:Tomorrow, yesterday, before, where...I would be happy to now what the fifth one is, thank you.
You need a verb, Matakari,so that the phrase makes sense. As you've been given so much of this, I'll leave you to track down that last word (five letters) yourself!
Question Author
Many thanks for the insight, NACW!
Thanks, Matakari. I'm sure you had a satisfactory end...
