How Riddle of the Day works

- Read the riddle carefully — every word matters.
- Press Hint for a clue, or Reveal Answer to see it.
- Press Another One for a new riddle, or Share to send it to a friend.
How to crack a riddle
- Think literally, then figuratively. Riddles often describe something ordinary in a poetic way — “has a face but no eyes” is a clock.
- List the clues. Write each property down separately, then think of things that fit all of them.
- Watch for double meanings. “Keys” might open a door or sit on a piano.
