Fine. "Ritual" is the divine prayer, six letters, scrambled in the order that's given it turns out "altrui". 3/8 should be system or theory.
Assuming the word in question is eight letters long we need another two for "altrui" to make a word that makes sense. Which is "altruism". Now we look for 3 letters that mean "system/theory", that's "ism" (although I wasn't sure about that).

Why not? Because Tennessee makes more sense when you say it aloud.
tense would be good if the riddle had no 'e' in it.

But why would you if you're just reading & writing? Why not just admit that there's one phonetic and one literal solution?

'Why not just admit?' Ok, I admit, it could have two meanings, happy? Although I was giving you the explanation to why that's not the answer I had from the site.
And I think you're taking this a wee bit more seriously than I am.

I always take my entertainment seriously! so that I could be un-serious about the rest!)
