Our story and standards
About DoRiddles
DoRiddles is built for people who love a good “wait… what?” moment. We publish riddles that are fun to read, satisfying to solve, and clear enough that you can explain the answer to someone else.
Alongside every riddle, we aim to provide helpful support: progressive hints when you're stuck, a clear final answer, and an explanation that shows the logic—not just the punchline.
Our mission
We want DoRiddles to be the easiest place on the internet to discover, solve, and share riddles—whether you're killing time, training your brain, or looking for classroom-ready brain teasers.
A great riddle should be clever without being unfair. Our goal is to help you reach that “aha” moment with minimal frustration and maximum fun.

How we choose and improve riddles
We try to publish riddles that are understandable, solvable, and worth sharing. That means we pay attention to clarity, ambiguity, and whether the answer is actually supported by the wording.
When we can, we refine wording, add better hints, and improve explanations—especially on popular riddles where a small edit can help thousands of solvers.
- Clarity first: the riddle should be readable and not depend on missing context
- Solvable: the answer should be reasonably deducible from the text
- No unnecessary trickery: misdirection is fun; unsolvable ambiguity is not
- Better learning: explanations should teach the reasoning behind the answer
Hints and explanations
Hints are meant to nudge, not spoil. We prefer progressive hints—starting broad and becoming more specific—so you can stop at the level of help you want.
Explanations aim to show how the riddle works. Some explanations may be assisted by automation to help scale coverage, but we treat the on-page explanation as part of the user experience and refine it over time.
Community contributions and credit
DoRiddles grows best when people contribute their favorite riddles (or their own original creations). If you submit a riddle, we may edit it for clarity, safety, tagging, or formatting—without changing the core idea.
If you want attribution, you can include a display name when you submit. We also take copyright and originality seriously; please only submit content you have the rights to share.
- Submit original riddles or riddles you have permission to share
- Avoid copying from books/sites unless you have explicit rights
- Add a source note when relevant (e.g., public domain, author permission, or your own work)
Kids and classrooms
We aim to keep kids-focused sections age-appropriate and classroom-friendly. If you ever find content that's mislabeled (for example, adult humor in a kids category), please report it so we can correct tagging or remove it.
- Teacher tip: use hints to scaffold discussion rather than reveal the answer
- Group play: let students propose multiple answers before revealing
- Ask “why?” after solving—explanations help build reasoning skills
