Riddle:
I can press without fingers, pull juice from fruit, or show you love with a short embrace. What am I?
Answer: Squeeze.
It’s a wordplay on the different meanings of “squeeze.” “Press without fingers” points to applying pressure in general (like squeezing a stress ball or a trigger). “Pull juice from fruit” is literal—squeezing an orange or lemon. “Show you love with a short embrace” nods to a quick affectionate hug often called “a squeeze.” All three clues converge on the action and noun “squeeze.”
Riddle:
It keeps something that cannot be kept, And wakes you when you have slept. It may go slow or stop at times, But even then it chimes. What is it?
Answer: An alarm clock.
“It keeps something that cannot be kept”: Time can’t be held; a clock only measures it as it slips by. “And wakes you when you have slept”: The alarm rings to wake you. “It may go slow or stop at times”: Clocks can run slow or stop (dead battery, mechanical hiccup). “But even then it chimes”: Many clocks still chime or ring on the hour/alarm, even if their timekeeping isn’t perfect.
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.”
