Top Rated Riddles of All Time
My life can be measured in hours,
I serve by being devoured.
Thin, I am quick
Fat, I am slow
Wind is my foe.
You saw me where I never was and where I could not be. And yet within that very place, my face you often see. What am I?
Kings and queens may cling to power and the jester’s got his call,
But, as you may all discover, the common one outranks them all.
Every dawn begins with me
At dusk I’ll be the first you see
And daybreak couldn’t come without
What midday centers all about
Daises grow from me, I’m told
And when I come, I end all cold
But in the sun I won’t be found
Yet still, each day I’ll be around.
Soft and fragile is my skin, I get my growth in mud
I’m dangerous as much as pretty, for if not careful, I draw blood.
Three brothers share a family sport: A non-stop marathon
The oldest one is fat and short And trudges slowly on
The middle brother’s tall and slim And keeps a steady pace
The youngest runs just like the wind, a speeding through the race
“He’s young in years, we let him run,” the other brothers say
“‘Cause though he’s surely number one, he’s second, in a way.”
I am a word of meanings three.
Three ways of spelling me there be.
The first is an odor, a smell if you will.
The second some money, but not in a bill.
The third is past tense, a method of passing things on or around.
Can you tell me now, what these words are, that have the same sound?
