What is it that no man ever yet did see, which never was, but always is to be?

Tomorrow

Why this works

This riddle plays with the concept of time and the nature of "tomorrow." The phrase "no man ever yet did see" suggests that tomorrow is always in the future and cannot be directly observed; once it arrives, it becomes "today." The line "which never was, but always is to be" emphasizes that tomorrow has never existed in the past, yet it is always forthcoming, representing the perpetual cycle of time. Thus, the answer "tomorrow" captures this elusive and ever-present idea perfectly!

Common Wrong Answers

“Yesterday”

Yesterday refers to a time that has already occurred, which people can remember or see in retrospect, contradicting the riddle's premise of something that has never been seen.

“Today”

Today is the present moment that everyone experiences and can see, making it inconsistent with the idea of something that has never been seen.

“Next week”

Next week refers to a specific time in the future that can be anticipated, but it is not as universally applicable as 'tomorrow' which is always the next day.
