New Riddles

Riddle: I hold countless voices that never speak, countless journeys that never move, and ask for quiet to share them all. What am I?
Answer: Library. "I hold countless voices that never speak": This refers to the vast number of books in a library. Each book contains the "voice" (ideas, stories, knowledge) of its author, but the physical book itself is silent. "countless journeys that never move": Books describe "journeys" (adventures, travelogues, fictional quests), but the books remain stationary on the shelves. The reader takes the journey through their imagination. "and ask for quiet to share them all": Libraries traditionally require a quiet atmosphere so that patrons can read, study, and focus on the material within the books without distraction.
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: 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.
