What has one eye but cannot see?
Welcome to Riddles and Answers, where every riddle comes with the answer waiting just underneath it. We have hand picked more than a thousand riddles with answers, sorted them by age, difficulty and theme, and put a fresh one on this page every single morning.

Some people land here looking for one thing: the answer to a riddle a friend just sprung on them. Others want a hundred riddles to read out at a classroom, a car journey or a birthday party. Both of you are covered. Every collection on this site is checked by hand, written in plain language, and comes with an answer you can actually explain to someone afterwards.
Clear questions and explainable answers.
A new riddle every morning.
A new riddle appears here every morning at midnight. Solve it, reveal the answer, then come back tomorrow for the next one.
Missed a few? The full riddle of the day archive holds every daily riddle we have published, going back to day one. If you would rather have it delivered, join the weekly round up at the bottom of this page and we will send the last seven straight to your inbox.
What has one eye but cannot see?
If you only read one collection today, make it this one. Our best riddles page holds the hundred that get shared, solved and argued over more than any others, from the footsteps riddle to the one about the man in the rain who stayed completely dry.
An egg.
Footsteps.
He was bald.
Your name.
Pick a collection designed around the age, attention span and style of the person solving.
Short sentences, familiar objects, answers that click. Our riddles for kids collection is built for ages five to twelve and sorted by grade level so a kindergartener and a fifth grader each get something pitched right. Teachers, these double as morning warm ups and brain breaks.
Old enough for wordplay, young enough to enjoy a groan worthy punchline. Teen riddles sit between the kids collections and the adult ones, and they work well for youth groups, sleepovers and long bus rides.
Sharper, longer and occasionally infuriating. Riddles for adults covers lateral thinking, logic traps and the kind of question that seems unfair until the answer lands and you realise it was fair all along.
Start with a quick confidence boost or go straight to the riddles that demand lateral thinking.
One or two lines, one obvious clue, one satisfying answer. Easy riddles are the right place to start with young children or anyone who wants a win before breakfast.
A step up. Medium riddles need a moment of thought but rarely more than a minute.
The ones that stay with you. Hard riddles demand lateral thinking, and a fair few of them hide their trick inside a single word you skimmed past. If you clear those, the hardest riddles section at the bottom of that page is where we keep the genuine brain breakers.
Not difficult so much as sneaky. Tricky riddles with answers are built to send you confidently down the wrong path, which is exactly what makes them fun to spring on other people.
Choose classic “What am I?” clues, quick jokes, number puzzles, brain teasers and more.
An object describes itself and you name it. What am I riddles are the most classic riddle format there is, and the one children pick up fastest. Its close cousin, who am I riddles, swaps objects for people and characters.
Half riddle, half joke, entirely designed to make someone groan. Funny riddles are the ones that survive the car journey.
Numbers hiding inside words. Math riddles turn arithmetic into a puzzle worth solving, which is why so many teachers keep a stack of them on hand.
Broader than riddles and often harder. Brain teasers include logic grids, lateral thinking scenarios and problems where the answer depends on spotting an assumption nobody stated.
One line each, nothing wasted. Short riddles are the ones you can memorise on the spot and use for the rest of your life.
For Halloween, campfires and anyone who likes a chill with their puzzle. Scary riddles run from mildly spooky to properly creepy.
Seasonal collections, ready when you need them. Halloween riddles for trick or treat night, including a gentler set of Halloween riddles for kids. Christmas riddles for advent calendars and cracker inserts. Valentine riddles for cards and classroom parties. New year riddles for the countdown.
Planning a party or a treasure hunt? Scavenger hunt riddles give you clues that point at real places, ready to print and cut.
Every collection on this site comes as a free PDF you can print, cut and hand out. No account needed. Teachers use them as worksheets, parents use them on road trips, and party planners use them as table cards.
Quick answers about finding, choosing and using the riddles on this site.
If someone has given you a riddle and you want the answer, use the search box at the top of this page. Type in any part of the riddle, even a few words, and we will find it. We keep answers on individual pages so you can send the link to whoever asked you.
Start with something short that describes a familiar object. “What has to be broken before you can use it?” (an egg) works for almost any age. Our riddles for kids collection is sorted by grade level if you want something pitched precisely.
There is no single answer, but the ones people find hardest tend to hide their trick in a word you would normally skim, like “single” or “all but”. You can judge for yourself on the hard riddles page.
A new riddle of the day goes live every morning, and we add new collections every week. The newest riddles page shows everything published recently.
Yes. Print them, read them out, put them on the board. If you want them ready formatted, every collection has a free printable PDF.
