Today, I’m going to give you all a challenge!

(If you can’t see the podcast player CLICK HERE to listen!!)

I’m going to set you all a challenge. I am going to tell you three popular English riddles, and I want to see if you can work out the answers. A riddle is a question, statement, or phrase that is almost a puzzle and requires you to think to answer. But I’m not going to tell you the answers! I want you to message me on instagram with your guesses, and I will tell you if you are correct or not!

Ok, so let’s get started 

Riddle 1

What has a face and two hands but no arms or legs?

Riddle 2

What occurs once in a minute, twice in a moment and never in one thousand years?

Riddle 3 

What five-letter word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it?

If you want to check your answers, message Thinking in English Podcast on Instagram.
