I wonder when Riley riddles will stop




My Prefix can be quite far



My Infix may help you literally escape



My Suffix forces you to just deal with hard situations



My whole can help your eyes see the entire universe




What am I?

  • I think the last line might give the answer away a bit; when I read it, I first thought of Rot13(FCLTYNFF be GRYRFPBCR). I immediately ignored the first thought, as the suffix and infix in the second word clearly matched. Then, after doing some research into the origin of the word, the prefix matched, too. It did not come as a surprise to see @El-Guest 's answer be exactly the same word. Nice riddle, though. I can't upvote as I have reached my daily voting limit (once again) and can vote again in $13$ hours, so $colordarkorangebigstar$ :P

Are you a




telescope?




My Prefix can be quite far




A TEL is an ancient mound of artificially created refuse commonly found in the Middle East. @jafe notes that the correct prefix is likely TELE, which is a combining form from Greek meaning "far". Thanks, @jafe!!




My Infix may help you literally escape




Literally escape using the ESC key on the keyboard




My Suffix forces you to just deal with hard situations




To COPE with hard situations




My whole can help your eyes see the entire universe
