Riddle

What has keys but can't open locks, space but no room, and can enter but not leave?

?Tap to reveal the answer

The Answer

A keyboard.

Here's why: The wordplay involves 'keys' which are found on a keyboard, 'space' referring to the space bar, and 'enter' as a keyboard key, not a physical action.

Riddle

In the town of Fogsville, every house had a unique lock requiring a special code. One day, a visiting merchant wanted to enter a friend's house but forgot the code. When he knocked, a voice from within asked, 'What can you add to a barrel to make it lighter?' The merchant answered correctly and the door opened. What did he say?

?Tap to reveal the answer

The Answer

A hole.

Here's why: the wordplay lies in the counterintuitive idea that adding a hole reduces the weight by allowing contents to escape, making it 'lighter'.

Riddle

I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with wind. What am I?

?Tap to reveal the answer

The Answer

An echo

Here's why: an echo 'speaks' as it is the reflection of sound, and it 'hears' as it requires sound to be made. It needs no mouth or ears, and comes 'alive' when sound bounces back, often in open or windy spaces.
