What Is It Riddles FAQ

What is a “What is it?” riddle?

It’s a riddle that describes an object with clues and asks you to name it. It’s similar to a “What am I?” riddle, but the clues are written about the object rather than by it.

How do I solve one?

Take each clue separately and list things that fit, then look for the one object that matches all of them. Many clues use a word’s second meaning.

Are they good for kids?

Yes. Because the answers are everyday objects, children can solve them with a little thinking and a hint or two.
