I have an eye but am blind, a sea, but no water; a bee, but no honey; Tea but no coffee; and a why, but no answer. What am I?

Why this works

This riddle cleverly uses wordplay to lead to its answer, "the alphabet." Each clue refers to letters that represent sounds or concepts without embodying their literal meanings. For example, "eye" refers to the letter 'I,' which sounds like "eye" but has no vision; "sea" refers to the letter 'C,' which sounds like the word "sea" but is not a body of water. Similarly, 'B' stands for "bee" and 'T' for "tea." Finally, 'Y' is the letter that sounds like "why," but it doesn’t provide an answer in itself. Each phrase plays on the sounds of letters, making the riddle both playful and thought-provoking!
