Riddle: What always comes into the house through the keyhole?
Answer: key
Need a hint?
You need it to unlock the front door.
Answer and explanation (spoiler!)
The answer is a key.
Every time you unlock your front door, the key slides in through the keyhole first. So a key always “comes into the house” that way.
The riddle sounds mysterious, as if something sneaks in through a tiny hole, but the answer is the most obvious thing that goes in a keyhole.
