5 riddles and brain teasers

[Riddles] 5 brain teasers to tackle with wit! Spend time together at home with these perfect time-killing puzzles.

There are moments in everyday life when wordplay just comes together, right? Like when you’re putting up posters in the classroom and someone says, “Too high, too high, lower,” and that makes you think of a pun like ‘Uesugi Kenshin’ (since ‘too high’ sounds like ‘Uesugi’).

Puns kind of feel similar to riddle-like brain teasers, don’t they? Here’s one: “It’s usually loud, but if you add one letter, it becomes quiet.

What is it?” The answer is ‘siren.’ Add a ‘t’ to the end and it becomes ‘silent,’ right? That rush you get when you solve a clever riddle is unbeatable!

Riddles: Advanced Level

Riddle Advanced Level

The words “nazo-nazo” (riddles) and “quiz” are used with similar meanings.

I tend to think of quizzes as knowledge questions like “Who founded the Tokugawa shogunate?” and riddles as insight-based ones like “What’s something you can’t cut no matter how much you cut it?” How do you draw the line between them? When it comes to insight-based riddles—especially at an advanced level—the difficulty can be sky-high.

If you’re confident in your riddle-solving skills, give it a try! People who love books or newspapers and are strong with print might have an advantage… or maybe not—that’s what makes it fun!

Cute snails, slightly icky? earthworms, and slugs are prime examples.

There really are all kinds of animals on Earth.

It could be fun to research your favorite animal and make riddles, then quiz each other.

If you like cats, make cat questions; if you have a dog, try dog questions.

It will surely help with your science studies, too.
