This is my first riddle, so I'd appreciate any feedback / suggestions.
You come across a door, guarded by two mysterious men. As you start to figure out how to tell which one is lying and which one is telling the truth, they say in unison:
WELCOME, TRAVELER, TO REIBELLO'S RIDDLE REPOSITORY. SHOULD YOU SEEK ENTRY, YOU'LL HAVE TO SOLVE A SIMPLE PUZZLE.
You quickly agree to hear the puzzle. You also notice that their voices are different. One is deep and strong, while the other is softer, and strangely emphatic about his words.
Our first AND second facilitate, that which you need to operate.
Each alone, is not correct, but read aloud make our subject.
Our third is imprecise at best, but gladly taken on a test.
Our fourth is five- IT IS TWO! We disagree. But it's also half of twenty-three.
Our fifth is fifth. All the clue you'll need, I reckon. But just in case, it's also our second.
Our sixth and last, core of our planet round, but don't go quite as far in underground.
Our riddle complete, answer if you dare. Six letters, and no more, WE SWEAR.
What word are the mysterious men looking for?
I have an alternate line for letter 4 - tell me if you think it's better / worse / easier / harder please and thank you.
Our fourth is five- It's two. His clues are the worst. It's also half of what is first.
