My sister introduced this app to me in November and I played it in my spare time. A few times I accidentally hit clues when changing the letters around. I wonder who has the highest points! A really fun app that makes you look outside the box.
Love it!! Many of these riddles are excellent but a substantial percentage appear to have been written by someone who speaks English as a second language or were written by someone who does not quite grasp the point of riddles. Tricky word uses are great as are clues that don't have an obvious connection to the solution. However if the provided information has no connection with the riddle it isn't really a brain teaser - it's a guessing game.
Guessing games and riddles are quite different. My recommendation is to look back over the clues and solutions. Any riddles with clues that aren't relevant need to be revised or replaced. I struggle, really struggle, with riddles. But this app gives you a break: for credits earned for solving you can get hints like what is the first letter, or how many letters, etc.
I am the heart that does not beat. If cut, I bleed without blood. I can fly, but have no wings. I can float, but have no fins. I can sing, but have no mouth. My voice is tender, my waist is slender and I'm often invited to play. Yet wherever I go, I must take my bow or else I have nothing to say.
Lovely and round, I shine with pale light, grown in the darkness, a lady's delight. The strangest creature you'll ever find has two eyes in front and a hundred behind. A little pool with two layers of wall around it. One white and soft and the other dark and hard. Amidst a light brown grassy lawn with an outline of a green grass.
I open wide and tight I shut, Sharp am I and paper-cut fingers too, so do take care, I'm good and bad, so best beware. Only one color, but not one size. Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies. Present in sun, but not in rain. Doing no harm, and feeling no pain. A house of wood in a hidden place.
Built without nails or glue. High above the earthen ground. It holds pale gems of blue. Who spends the day at the window, goes to the table for meals. And hides at night? The beginning of eternity, the end of time and space, the beginning of every end, the end of every place.
Always old, sometimes new. Never sad, sometimes blue. Never empty, sometimes full. Never pushes, always pulls. I bubble and laugh and spit water in your face. I am no lady, and I don't wear lace. I love to dance and twist and prance. I shake my tail, as away I sail. Wingless I fly into the sky. I usually wear a yellow coat. I usually have a dark head. I make marks wherever I go.
My life is often a volume of grief, your help is needed to turn a new leaf. Stiff is my spine and my body is pale. But I'm always ready to tell a tale. I cost no money to use, or conscious effort to take part of. And as far as you can see, there is nothing to me. But without me, you are dead. Soldiers line up spaced with pride.
Two long rows lined side by side. One sole unit can decide, if the rows will unit or divide. I turn around once. What is out will not get in.
I turn around again. What is in will not get out. When the day after tomorrow is yesterday. Today will be as far from Wednesday. As today was from Wednesday. When the day before yesterday was tomorrow. What is the day after this day? What has roots as nobody sees, is taller than trees. Up, up it goes, and yet never grows? They have not flesh, nor feathers, nor scales, nor bone. Yet they have fingers and thumbs of their own. Long slim and slender. Dark as homemade thunder. Keen eyes and peaked nose.
Scares the Devil wherever it goes. It sat upon a willow tree, and sang softly unto me. Easing my pain and sorrow with its song. I wished to fly, but tarried long. And in my suffering, the willow was like a cool clear spring. What was it that helped me so?
To spend my time in my woe. I have four wings but cannot fly. I never laugh and never cry. On the same spot always found, toiling away with little sound. I am never quite what I appear to be.
Straight-forward I seem, but it's only skin deep. For mystery most often lies beneath my simple speech. Sharpen your wits, open your eyes, look beyond my exteriors, read me backwards, forwards, upside down. Think and answer the question All about the house, with his lady he dances, yet he always works, and never romances. I walked and walked and at last I got it. I didn't want it.
So I stopped and looked for it. When I found it, I threw it away. Two in a whole and four in a pair. And six in a trio you see. And eight's a quartet but what you must get. Is the name that fits just one of me? I go around in circles, but always straight ahead. Never complain, no matter where I am led. Turns us on our backs, and open up our stomachs. You will be the wisest of men though at start a lummox. Thousands lay up gold within this house.
But no man made it. Spears past counting guard this house, but no man wards it. Creatures of power, creatures of grade, creatures of beauty, creatures of strength.
As for their lives, they set everything's pace. For all things must come to live. Double my number, I'm less than a score.
Half of my number is less than four. Add one to my double when bakers are near. Days of the week are still greater, I fear. In buckles or lace, they help set the pace. The farther you go, the thinner they grow. When young, I am sweet in the sun. When middle-aged, I make you gay. When old, I am valued more than ever. I am two-faced but bear only one. I have no legs but travel widely. Men spill much blood over me. Kings leave their imprint on me. I have greatest power when given away, yet lust for me keeps me locked away.
Two little holes in the side of a hill. Just as you come to the cherry-red mill. When you stop and look, you can always see me. If you try to touch, you cannot feel me. I cannot move, but as you near me, I will move away from you. A dagger thrust at my own heart, dictates the way I'm swayed.
Left I stand, and right I yield, to the twisting of the blade. Used left or right, I get to travel over cobblestone or gravel. Used up, I vie for sweet success, used down, I cause men great duress. What goes through the door without pinching itself? What sits on the stove without burning itself?
What sits on the table and is not ashamed? The moon is my father. The sea is my mother. I have a million brothers. I die when I reach land. My thunder comes before the lightning. My lightning comes before the clouds. My rain dries all the land it touches. My love, when I gaze on thy beautiful face. Careering along, yet always in place, the thought has often come into my mind. If I ever shall see thy glorious behind.
Today he is there to trip you up. And he will torture you tomorrow. Yet he is also there to ease the pain, when you are lost in grief and sorrow. I can be moved. I can be rolled. But nothing will I hold. I'm red and I'm blue, and I can be other colors too. Having no head, though similar in shape. I have no eyes - yet move all over the place. Inside a burning house, this thing is best to make.
And best to make it quickly, before the fire's too much to take! What is round as a dishpan, deep as a tub, and still the oceans couldn't fill it up? My first is in some but not in all. My second is into but not in tall. My third in little but no in big. My fourth in port but not in pig. My whole is made in nature's way. For clothing, rugs used every day. A beggar's brother went out to sea and drowned.
But the man who drowned had no brother. Who was the beggar to the man who drowned? A horrid monster hides from the day, with many legs and many eyes. With silver chains it catches prey.
And eats it all before it dies. Yet in every cottage does it stay. And every castle beneath the sky. Five hundred begins it, five hundred ends it. Five in the middle is seen. First of all figures, the first of all letters. Take up their stations between. Join all together, and then you will bring before you the name of an eminent king.
I can sizzle like bacon, I am made with an egg. I have plenty of backbone, but lack a good leg. I peel layers like onions, but still remain whole. I can be long, like a flagpole, yet fit in a hole. If a man carried my burden, he would break his back. I am not rich, but leave silver in my track.
High born, my touch is gentle. Purest white is my lace. Silence is my kingdom. Green is the color of my death. You heard me before, yet you hear me again, then I die. Until you call me again. I'm not really more than holes tied to more holes. I'm strong as good steel, though not as stiff as a pole. I am the third from a sparkle bright, I thrive throughout the day and night.
Deep in the path of a cows white drink. I've had thousands of millions of years to think. But one of my creatures is killing me. And so the question I ask to thee, is who am I? I am whole but incomplete. I have no eyes, yet I see. You can see, and see right through me. My largest part is one fourth of what I once was.
They're up near the sky, on something very tall. Sometimes they die, only then do they fall. Toss me out of the window. You'll find a grieving wife. Pull me back but through the door, and watch someone give life! A time when they're green.
A time when they're brown. By pressing the question mark on the top right of the game, you can purchase hint points. The riddles can be very challenging and sometimes the answers themselves will leave you scratching your head. If there is an update to this app, I hope it will have more riddles and maybe a way to include a riddle for leap year.
