Difficult Riddles for Smart Kids

By Uncle Bob

If you're looking for a great riddle, you've come to the right place.

 

Riddles are a fun way to exercise your brain. Solving riddles is like playing a sport for your brain. It's not about whether you're naturally smart or not — it's about practice.

Riddles are worded in a puzzling or misleading way. Many have a double or hidden meaning that requires creative, outside-the-box thinking.

When solving a riddle, be sure to pay close attention to the clues.

Let's try one for warm up: What lies at the end of everything?

All you need to do is look at the sentence from a new angle and think about any other meanings of the main words. This one is a tricky riddle but we already have the answer in this same sentence. The question states 'what lies at the end of everything' but it doesn't specify what 'everything' exactly means.

 

So, we can be sure that it's talking about the word 'everything' and it ends with the letter 'G'! Voilà, you've solved the riddle.

Now you're ready for more riddle detective work…

 

It's time to enjoy!
