Wonderful Dizzy - Question

Hi, this is my first post on this forum 😀 

I'm currently playing Wonderful Dizzy and really enjoying it. I liked the Dizzy games a lot when I was a kid and it's awesome that the Oliver Twins are still making Dizzy games for the Spectrum! The graphics and music are great and so far it is definitely living up to its name - it is wonderful 😎

I have a question though:     *** POSSIBLE SPOILERS ***

I seem to be getting stuck in the area between the Tinker Bridge statue and the poppy field. There is a riddle to get back past the statue that goes something like: "What doesn't speak, but is always heard and often answered?". I have the door knocker in my inventory, but that doesn't seem to resolve the riddle. I'm not looking for spoilers, but it would be great if someone could confirm that isn't a bug, as the door knocker seems to fit the riddle perfectly.

If the door knocker isn't the right item then I'll carry on searching 😀 

I think the rest of the game is awesome, but that area strikes me as a little strange, since if the player doesn't have the correct item then it seems they are trapped there and can't continue. Even if I have 3 lives, if I die in that area then I respawn there, so I'm basically done. I mean, if that is the intention then fair enough and it's not such a big deal with modern emulators that have saved states. But, if it wasn't for the save states, that section would seem a little harsh. (I don't know if anyone is looking for player feedback or not though)

Anyway, hopefully that's not a bug and I'll figure out how to solve this riddle before too long 😀

No, I recall you use the door knocker for something else. You should find what you need for the riddle elsewhere to the right of the tinker, so keep searching!

@bag-of-magic-food ah, ok, I see now. I have explored a bit more and have found the correct item (which is a bit similar to the door knocker). It makes a lot more sense now. So, the player isn't actually trapped between the statue and poppy field, I just hadn't figured out what to do. Thanks for your help! Good to know that it wasn't a bug 😀
