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:
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 am sweet and cold with a stick to hold; a treat on a hot day, worth more than gold. What am I?
Answer: Ice Cream.
Here's a breakdown of the clues: "I am sweet and cold": This directly describes the primary qualities of ice cream.
"with a stick to hold": This specifies a common way ice cream is served as a convenient handheld treat, often with a wooden stick.
"a treat on a hot day, worth more than gold": This highlights the refreshing and highly desirable nature of ice cream when the weather is hot.
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.
