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.”
Riddle:
There is not wind enough to twirl That one red leaf, nearest of its clan, Which dances as often as dance it can. What is it?
Answer: The answer is “flame” (or “fire”). This riddle is related to a quote by Samuel Taylor Coleridge. The “one red leaf” is a metaphor for a tongue of flame on a low fire, which “dances” and flickers even when there isn’t enough wind to twirl an actual leaf. Coleridge’s imagery captures how a small flame closest to the embers moves restlessly with the slightest draft, appearing like a red leaf among its “clan” of other flames and coals
Riddle:
What do reindeer use to decorate their antlers?
Answer: Horn-aments!
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.”
