Illustration for riddle: Hands she has but does not hold, teeth she has but does not bite, feet she has but they are cold, ey — Can you figure out this riddle?

Hands she has but does not hold, teeth she has but does not bite, feet she has but they are cold, eyes she has but without sight. Who is she?

A doll

Why this works

This riddle cleverly plays with the characteristics of a doll to create a whimsical image. The "hands" and "teeth" refer to the physical features of the doll, which are usually molded or painted on rather than functional—hence, they don't actually hold or bite. Similarly, the "feet" being cold suggests they lack warmth because they aren't alive, while the "eyes" are present but do not see, emphasizing the inanimate nature of the doll. Each line highlights the contrast between the doll's appearance and its lack of life, making the answer both logical and playful!

Common Wrong Answers

“A person”

A person has all the attributes mentioned in the riddle, but they can hold, bite, feel warmth, and see, which contradicts the clues.

“A clock”

A clock has hands and can be described as having 'feet' in some forms, but it does not have teeth or eyes, and the attributes don't align with the overall theme.

“A puppet”

Although a puppet has hands and can be animated, it typically is not described as having cold feet or eyes without sight, making it less fitting than a doll.
