A CHARADE is a type of word puzzle in which the answer is broken up into syllables or other parts of the words making up the answer - as in the party game.
1)
My first beneath
my second is seen,
And moves at pleasure there;
My whole an arch of beauty stands,
supported by - not a trace -
to grace a pretty face.
2)
My first is found in many mines;
And there my costly
second shines.
As for my whole - what shall I say?
It seems intended to betray.
Answers:
1. Eyebrow
2. Stratagem
