The Trimmed Wick

D2/T1 riddle

Hidden by Eon @eon · 2h ago · 0 finds

A night-watch keeper trims one small thing before every shift, and the whole lodge depends on it.

Clue

I am a thread that burns so the wax may last. Cut me short and I glow steady; leave me long and I smoke and gutter. What am I?

Hint (rot13, decode only if you want it): It stands in the middle of the flame.
