Riddle Rules
The riddles all share simple rules:
They have one intended answer. While some riddles seem to have multiple solutions, there was only one solution in mind when writing them. There may be more than one answer that feels like a great answer, but ideally there is one answer that feels like a perfect fit once you think of it.
Each line is important and the answer fulfills all clues given in the riddle.
Some clues may refer to homophones, which are words that are pronounced the same way but differ in either (or both) spelling or meaning.
Most importantly, they are not perfect! These are wordplay riddles and they are sometimes based on unpopular connotative meanings, common phrases, common idioms, tricky and misleading phrasing, etc. Please be mindful of the imperfect nature of this style of riddle. Some of the solutions may not seem fully satisfactory, but you can be sure they were meant to be. [1]
