Riddle Answers

We LOVE riddles (even if they can be maddening sometimes)!

Three ways to enjoy riddles to the fullest:

• Don't Quit Early! - The longer you think on them, the better your answers are. Give your brain a good workout by setting a minimum time frame or number of guesses before giving up. There's no hurry. Riddles don't have deadlines.
• Share the fun with family and friends - You can discuss riddles in the car, over dinner, while waiting in line, or pretty much anywhere. You can even text answers back and forth with a friend. The more people that try to solve them, the more creative and unique the answers you will find, and the more rewarding the answer when you get it right (or wrong!). 
• Expect more than one answer - More often than not, we find several possibilities for answers. That's when you know your brain is in high gear and you've struck gold!
