New Riddles

Riddle: Start at one and add one forever; I grow but never end. What am I?
Answer: Infinity. It’s the process of counting: start at 1, then keep adding 1—2, 3, 4, and so on—without stopping. The total “grows” because the number increases, but it “never ends” because there’s no largest number; you can always add one more. Infinity is not a specific number, but rather a concept representing something without any bound or end, perfectly matching the description in the riddle.
Riddle: Not a bird but I can fly through time; Hands moving, moments chime. What am I?
Answer: A clock.  "Not a bird but I can fly through time": This is a metaphorical use of "fly". A clock doesn't physically move through the air, but the passage of time is often described as "flying" (as in the saying, "time flies").  "Hands moving, moments chime": A clock typically has "hands" that move to indicate the time, and some clocks "chime" to mark the hour or specific intervals. The riddle uses personification and metaphor to describe a clock's function in a creative way.
Riddle: I'm not the alphabet, but I have letters. I'm not a pole, but I have a flag. What am I?
Answer: A Mailbox. A “mailbox” has “letters,” but they’re mail, not alphabet characters. It also has a “flag,” the small lever you raise to signal outgoing mail, even though it isn’t a pole with a flag. So both clues fit a mailbox through wordplay.
Riddle: I act like a lamp, but I have the sound of a bee. What am I?
Answer: Bright. It’s a wordplay riddle. A lamp is “bright,” and the “sound of a bee” is the letter “B.” Put them together: B + right → “bright.”
