What four-legged animal can jump higher than a house

Any, Houses can't jump

Why this works

This riddle plays on the literal interpretation of the words involved. While we might initially think of a specific four-legged animal that can jump high, the twist is in the phrase "higher than a house." Since houses, being inanimate objects, cannot jump at all, any four-legged animal that can jump—even just a little—fits the answer perfectly. It's a clever way to challenge our assumptions and highlight the importance of considering the meanings of words in a playful context!

Common Wrong Answers

“Kangaroo”

While kangaroos can jump very high, the riddle is a play on words; it states that any four-legged animal can jump higher than a house, but houses themselves cannot jump.

“Horse”

Horses are known for their jumping ability, but the riddle cleverly implies that the height of the jump is irrelevant since houses cannot jump at all.

“Dog”

Dogs can jump, but again, the riddle highlights the fact that houses are inanimate and cannot jump, making the specific animal irrelevant to the answer.
