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:
Brewed for soup, grouped in herds, counted in shares and traded in thirds. What am I?
Answer: Stock.
Riddle:
I can be shouted to claim, dug for riches, or buried to maim, three meanings packed in one short word. What am I?
Answer: Mine.
“Mine” carries three distinct meanings that match each clue: Shouted to claim: someone yells “Mine!” to assert ownership. Dug for riches: a mine is a place where minerals, coal, or gems are extracted. Buried to maim: a land mine is an explosive device concealed underground. The riddle packs these homonyms into one word, making “mine” the perfect answer.
Riddle:
I follow soap to clear its trace, I wash away what suds embrace. What am I?
