Q. Sometimes you'll find me hard and cold,
Other times I'm hard to hold,
Always present in the air,
If I'm ever gone, beware.
What am I ?
A. Water. As ice I'm hard and cold, as water vapor I'm hard to hold and I'm always present in the air as humidity (aka water vapor). If the earth ever runs out of water, we're toast.
Q. I have seven letters and am something you eat. My only anagram can help your pain. If you remove my first 2 letters I wear things down. Removing my first 3 letters is an adjective and removing my first 4 letters leaves a measure of time. What am I ?
A. Sausage. You eat sausage, assuage is the only single-word anagram and provides relief from pain. Usage wears things down, sage is an adjective and age is a measure of time.
