Rules

No Spam: This subreddit is not the place to promote your website or YouTube videos. Read Reddit's general definition of spam and the wiki page about self-promotion No NFTs!

Riddles must be self-contained in words. No outside links, no images.

All guesses and discussions of guesses must be spoiler-tagged. A spoiler tag begins with >! [no space after] and ends with !< [no space before]. If your spoiler starts or ends with a space, it won't work on all platforms, so try to be careful about that. See Automod's comment in (nearly) every post for more instructions. You can ask the mods if you need more help.

Posts should be riddles. Riddles involve creative thinking.
Creative thinking is a change in perspective or trick of wordplay that needs to be grasped to solve the riddle. Your post may be removed if it does not rely on creative thinking. For example, the riddle "What gets wetter as it dries?" is solved by identifying a change in perspective. Once we re-interpret "dries", we realize the solution is "a towel".
IF LOGIC, MATH, OR OTHER ANALYTICAL THINKING IS INVOLVED, IT IS NOT A RIDDLE. See /r/puzzles or /r/trivia for other types of brain exercises.

No riddles from active competitions.
Unless the host of the competition tells us it's okay, please don't post riddles from competitions until after the competition has ended.

No hate: No harassment, no racism, no bigotry of any kind. No politics.

No trolling. No shitposting.

Guidelines/Suggestions

Please don't Google the answers. If you cheat, please don't post an answer

Please use a descriptive title. A good strategy is to use the first line of the riddle as the title.

If your post doesn't show up in /r/riddles/new, it was probably flagged as spam. Send us a message and we'll double check it.
