Top Rated Riddles of All Time
I am served at a table,
In gatherings of two or four
Served small, white and round.
You'll love some,
And that's part of the fun.
What am I?
Often held but never touched, always wet but never rusts, often bites but seldom bit, to use me well you must have wit.
What am I?
I come out of the earth, I am sold in the market. He who buys me cuts my tail, takes off my suit of silk, and weeps beside me when I am dead.

Question: I can't go left, I can't go right. I am forever stuck in a building over three stories high. What am I?
I have a head but no body, a heart but no blood. Just leaves and no branches, I grow without wood. What am I?
A noble device, cursed to accept disgraceful treatment. It's absence can tell a man he doesn't belong. What is it?
I have a single waving hand I'm present in places across the land
On fairer days, I depart
I shorten with a broken heart. What am I?
I’m pleasing to the eye
A tool for many absent of mind
A tapestry of fickle lies
Blind to even the most pensive spies
I’m often the breeder of fervent lust
But I am by far one you shouldn’t trust
A red cap on my head,
a stone in my throat,
if you tell me the answer,
I’ll give you a Groat.
What am I?
It comes only before,
It comes only after,
Rises only in darkness,
But rises only in light.
It is always the same,
But is yet always different.
What am I?
Ever eating, never cloying,
All-devouring, all-destroying,
Never finding full repast,
Till I eat the world at last.
