I see how VII worked, now.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Good job, booba!
I'm with Rose on that one. Right over my head. I still don't get it.

When I was lamenting "typical" riddles, ealier, I failed to mention an aspect that seems to generally spell fail. That is providing TOO many repetitive clues that point to the same thing. You see it...

Sounds right, to me.
So, I guess they don't all require some form of homonymy.
(Like, say... Substituting a chaise [lounge] for the "chase" or doing the whole thing as "perch" and "ace")
