Book Description

This is a collection of 150 fun, challenging, and satisfying wordplay riddles! A drastically different yet essential counterpart to my first collection of riddles, “Of Course!”, these are easy-to-remember and fun-to-share word riddles that describe some object, thing, or place. Typically they follow a limerick-inspired rhyming structure and sometimes have pretty out-of-the-box answers. This book is filled with the classics that many riddle-loving people will be familiar with, and also filled with many new and original riddles that you can be sure you've never heard before. The difficulty ranges from easy to quite difficult, but never are these riddles so cryptic and “tricky” that you won't be able to figure out the answer with enough thought. Even the simple ones feel good to solve. They are designed to be satisfying, tight, and fulfilling. In case you are unfamiliar with this style of riddle, here are a few classic examples from the “Classic Riddles” section of the book that display the range of wordplay and styles. I don't want to spoil anything so the solution to these riddles can be found in the book! ---------- 1) The more I dry, the wetter I get. What am I? 2) Forwards I am heavy, backwards I am not. What am I? 3) The poor have me; the rich need me; and you will die if you eat me. What am I? 4) You can crack me; you can make me; you can tell me; you can play me. What am I? ---------- This book should give you many hours of enjoyment and a nice workout for your brain! Enjoy!
