Riddles!

This topic is about short riddles, because not everyone likes to do the larger logical puzzles. If you do like those, then click here.

If you've guessed the riddle, you can immediately post another one yourself. Let's keep it going. yes

I will start with this riddle:

What is easy to get into, but hard to get out of?

It was a tradition long ago,

When the world was dark and full of woe.

When men turned darkness into light,

By mixing, melting and decanting in the night,

To seek for youth and gold and riches,

Just to be burned as witches.


What am I?

The intended answer was bed, you got it again 👌 But you can make more answers work on this one.

I can be flipped and broken but I never move. I can be closed, and opened, and sometimes removed. I am sealed by hands.

What am I?

@DarkWolf

Some kind of agreement, contract, deal or promise?

I dunno haha, too many fit! XD

@Sunisshiningandsoareyou

''Deal'' was the intended answer 👍


I agree with you that multiple words would fit, which isn't ideal. But at some point most of the best riddles have been posted, and it becomes increasingly challenging to find new ones. I'll find a way to keep it going though.

Here's one more already, just in case the last one is a bit difficult.


I am something you would like to break,

I come round every year,

I can also break something of yours,

They call me another name I often hear.

Your face will do this when you’re feeling down,

And it’d in good faith if it were a clown.

When numbers decrease,

I come with a breeze,

I’m red, yellow, and brown.

What am I?

@lazyKatz

Forget down I meant to say Drop

DarkWolf OP June 26th, 2023

@lazyKatz

Good guesses, but like you said they might not fit exactly. 🤔

There's a word with a similar meaning and the same amount of letters as your answer ''drop'', that fits even better.
