[Easy] Riddles to Enjoy with Kids: Make Time to Think Together as a Family!

What is the flower that shouts in the morning?

This is a riddle that asks for “a flower that roars in the morning.” The key to solving it is to first think of flowers that do something in the morning.

There’s a well-known flower that blooms in the morning, right? That’s right—the morning glory (asagao).

You might think, “Morning glories do act in the morning, but they don’t roar…” So why is the answer morning glory? Because it’s a pun on the sound of a roar—‘gaoo!’—which is contained in ‘asagao.’ Flowers usually bloom quietly and don’t roar, but if there really were a flower that roared, I’d love to see it at least once.

30 trick riddles that 80% of people can’t solve

[Trick Riddles] 15 Questions! If You Can Solve Them, That's Unusual—80% of People Can't Handle These Mean Problems

Let’s play with words! Here are 30 ideas for trick riddles that 80% of people can’t solve.

Trick riddles can leave you feeling stumped, but seeing the answer often makes you think, “Ah, I get it now!” or “So that’s how it works!” This time, let’s take on riddles said to be unsolvable for 80% of people.

For example, one question goes: “One day, a precious musical instrument broke and could no longer be used.

What instrument was it?”

What animal gets lighter when you flip it over?

An animal that gets lighter when flipped over… Just imagining various animals flipping over makes you feel warm and fuzzy, doesn’t it? But no matter how many real animals you flip, you won’t reach the answer! And since there are so many animals, guessing at random won’t help much either.

The key to solving this riddle is to focus on the crucial word “karui” (軽い), meaning “light.”

When written in katakana, it’s “カルイ” (karui).

If you flip it—i.e., read it backward—it becomes “イルカ” (iruka), which means “dolphin.” So the answer is “dolphin.”
