I have no wings but I fly, I have no teeth but I bite. What am I?

A bullet

Why this works

This riddle plays with the dual meanings of the words "fly" and "bite." When it says "I have no wings but I fly," it refers to how a bullet travels swiftly through the air when fired, even though it obviously doesn’t have wings like a bird. The phrase "I have no teeth but I bite" is a clever way to describe how a bullet can cause harm or damage upon impact, akin to a bite, but without the literal teeth. This clever use of language creates a vivid image while also leading you to think about the characteristics of a bullet!

Common Wrong Answers

“A bird”

Birds have wings and are capable of flight, which contradicts the clue 'I have no wings but I fly'.

“A kite”

Kites do fly, but they do have a structure and often strings, which means they don't fit the clue of having 'no wings'.

“An airplane”

Airplanes are designed for flying and have wings, making them incompatible with the riddle's condition of having 'no wings'.
