Riddle: I am between things; in teeth, in time, in fences; I can be wide or tiny. What am I? 
Answer: Gap.   It’s pointing to “gap” because a gap is the space between things.  In teeth: a diastema is the gap between teeth. In time: a time gap is the interval between events.  In fences: gaps are openings between slats or posts. “Wide or tiny” fits because gaps can vary in size.  So the riddle lists places where “a space between” shows up, and “gap” is the common thread.
