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: I follow soap to clear its trace, I wash away what suds embrace.  What am I?
Answer: Water. Water is used to rinse away suds and residue after using soap.
Riddle: I have your ohs and your wishes, Your life force and your death gasp. You can visit me, or we can get stuck together; Either way, you'll arrive pale and leave quenched. What am I?
Answer: A well. “Your ohs”: The interjection “oh, well” uses “well” as a conversational filler. “Your wishes”: A “wishing well” is where people toss coins and make wishes. “Your life force”: Wells hold water, essential for life; drinking from a well sustains you. “Your death gasp”: “Farewell” (said at life’s end) contains “well,” and grief often “wells up” as tears. “You can visit me”: A literal water well is a place you go to draw water. “We can get stuck together”: “As well” means “together/also,” and “well… well” is a phrase people repeat when stuck or hesitating. “Arrive pale and leave quenched”: A pun on “pail/pale”—you come with a pail to the well and leave with thirst quenched and the pail filled; or you come looking drained (“pale”) and leave revived by water. All clues point to “well” through its literal meaning (water source) and its many idiomatic uses.
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.
