1 I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with the wind. What am I?
- A shadow
- An echo
- A ghost
- A whisper
Correct!Wrong!An echo
An echo is a reflection of sound that repeats back to you, as if the sound is "speaking." Despite not having a physical form, it can be heard. It also "hears" your voice, as it mirrors the sound you make.
2 The more of this there is, the less you see. What is it?
- Water
- Darkness
- Light
- Fog
Correct!Wrong!Darkness
Darkness obscures vision, making it harder to see the more it envelops an area. Unlike other elements, the increase of darkness directly decreases visibility, making it a perfect answer to this riddle.
3 What has keys but can’t open locks?
- A map
- A piano
- A clock
- A computer
Correct!Wrong!A piano
A piano has musical keys, which are used to play notes, not to open doors. The "keys" in this context are related to music rather than a physical object that can unlock something.
4 I’m tall when I’m young, and I’m short when I’m old. What am I?
- A candle
- A tree
- A shadow
- A mountain
Correct!Wrong!A candle
As a candle burns, it gets shorter, illustrating how it’s "tall" when first lit and gradually "shrinks" as it ages, making this riddle a clever play on words and observation.
5 What is always in front of you but can’t be seen?
- The wind
- The future
- Your shadow
- Time
Correct!Wrong!The future
The future is a concept that is always ahead of us, yet it’s intangible and invisible. Despite being something we plan for and anticipate, we can never truly "see" it until it becomes the present.
6 What has a heart that doesn’t beat?
- A clock
- A tree
- An artichoke
- A stone
Correct!Wrong!An artichoke
The heart of an artichoke is the most tender and edible part of the vegetable. Although we refer to it as the "heart," it does not beat like a living heart, making this riddle both tricky and intriguing.
7 What gets wetter as it dries?
- A towel
- A sponge
- A river
- A cloud
Correct!Wrong!A towel
A towel soaks up water as it dries off other things, becoming wetter in the process. This riddle plays on the dual meaning of "dries," making you think twice before answering.
8 I have branches, but no fruit, trunk, or leaves. What am I?
- A cactus
- A river
- A bank
- A building
Correct!Wrong!A bank
A bank has branches (locations), but they aren’t the kind found on trees. These branches offer financial services rather than leaves or fruit, making this riddle a clever use of double meanings.
9 What can you hold in your right hand, but never in your left hand?
- Your left hand
- Your right elbow
- A shadow
- A mirror
Correct!Wrong!Your left hand
You can’t hold your left hand with your left hand; only your right hand can do that. This riddle is a fun and tricky one, making you think about something as simple as your own hands in a new way.
10 What is so fragile that saying its name breaks it?
- Silence
- Glass
- A promise
- An egg
Correct!Wrong!Silence
Silence is a state of no sound. The moment you speak and say its name, the silence is broken. This riddle captures the delicate nature of quietness in a clever way.
