What object has keys that open no locks, space but no room, and you can enter but not go in?

A keyboard

Why this works

This riddle plays with the multiple meanings of words associated with a keyboard. The "keys" refer to the buttons you press to type, which obviously don't open any locks. The "space" refers to the space bar, which is a key on the keyboard, but it doesn't create a physical room. Lastly, "you can enter" relates to the enter key, allowing you to submit commands or text, but you can't physically go inside anything. This clever use of language makes the keyboard the perfect answer!

Common Wrong Answers

“A house”

A house has keys that open locks, physical rooms, and you can enter it, which contradicts the clues given in the riddle.

“A car”

A car has keys that unlock doors, provides space for passengers, and you can enter it, which does not align with the attributes described in the riddle.

“A computer”

While a keyboard is part of a computer, the riddle specifically describes the keyboard's unique characteristics that distinguish it from the computer as a whole.
