Followup to my previous Single Speak puzzle, this time I decided to follow the path of the original Double Speak puzzle by adding a metapuzzle. Like in the previous time, the answer to each riddle corresponds to a pair of identical words.

Terminate the last part

Talk to where it touches

Moral of the fake person

The breaking free of a keyboard's key

Feed the doctor's assistant

Follow the road

Ethnic dispute

Blowing into an increase in prices

Look at the tick

A secure lock

The dirt of a planet

Identify a point

Printing a feeling

Rotate a chance

Deserving your salary

The metapuzzle is also a Single Speak puzzle, so it'll also give you two identical words.

  • $\begingroup$ :( Yes, I can't work it out. Is it just the metapuzzle, or do you mean that one of the main answers is wrong, which means I have a wrong letter in the metapuzzle? $\endgroup$

No point in me repeating the riddles, but I have worked out the meta puzzle. The final riddle should be

ECCENTRIC SE SITE

Which means the answer is

Puzzling Puzzling
