Riddles & Puzzles

1. Silent Messenger

I travel without feet, speak without a tongue,
Yet in paper or pixels, my words live on.
I carry thoughts across towns and seas,
But to hear my message, you must first set me free.
What am I?

2. Time's Sculptor

I wear no chisel, yet I shape all things—
Mountains crumble, empires fade, spring to autumn clings.
I have no hands, but I turn the tide,
And though I never rest, I have no stride.
What am ?

3. The Hungry Hole

I gobble up words, numbers, and light,
But never burp or ask for a bite.
Feed me a question, I'll spit out a clue,
Yet the more I eat, the emptier I grew.
What am I?

4. Mirror in Reverse

I show your face, but upside down,
Backward words, no sound to be found.
Touch me, and I ripple like a lake,
But I'm not water—just glass and fake.
What am I?

5. The Weightless Bundle

I weigh less than air, yet fill rooms with ease,
I can be shared, but never stolen or seized.
From a laugh to a tear, I hold feelings tight,
But if you try to catch me, I vanish at night.
What am I?

6. The Toothless Eater

I grind and crush, but have no jaw,
I turn hard oats to soft, warm straw.
Feed me grains, and I'll give you gold,
But without fire, my work grows cold.
What am I?
