I'm thinking of a vegetable and an insect. The names of each end with the same vowel.
You can ask any yes/no question you like.
Hint: Total syllables = 5.
I'm thinking of two things.
The first thing is a part of the body, and it is a compound noun.
The second thing is something everybody wants more of.
The part of the body ends in the same sound as the thing everybody wants more of.
- I'm thinking of two words that rhyme.
- The first word is a body part, and is a compound noun.
- The second word is something that can be eaten.
- Both words are for things that are hard on the outside.
There are two sets of words.
Each set has two words, for a total of four words.
The words in each set rhyme. That is, the words in the first set rhyme with each other, but not with the words in the second set, and visa versa.
Two of the words, one from each set, are synonyms. They are words for something everybody wants more of.
The synonyms are the second word in each set.
The other two words, those that aren't synonyms, are names for different parts of the body. They are not related in any way, other than both being words for body parts.
In each set, one word has two syllables and the other one syllable.
In the first set, the first word has two syllables. In the second set, the first word has one syllable.
What are the words?
Options:
- This can be done as a 20-question type activity, allowing students to ask any yes/no question they like.
- The clue, They are words for something everybody wants more of, almost makes the riddle too easy, but some sort of clue is needed. A slightly more obscure clue might make this a better riddle.
- Clues could be withheld and provided for a "price". For example, if students are allowed N questions, a clue could be worth more than one question.
