I love riddles. I couldn't find a good enough collection across the internet, so I made one in my Python RPG. Now, I'm offering this for free in hopes of it getting bigger and better.

Please Contribute to me if this helped you!

What are Riddles? They're not Jokes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riddle

Riddles are Enigmas

Problems in metaphorical or allegorical language that require ingenuity and careful thinking

YES to Logic, to a degree.
YES Philosophy

Riddles are also Conduras

Questions relying for their effects on punning in either the question or the answer

YES Puns
YES Wordplay
YES Double-meanings

Technicalities:

Technicalities go here. Weird off-case stuff.

No integers or symbols, make your answers in words only. One. Two. Three. Plus, Minus.

I remove these from the dataset:

One-liners / * Fun Facts / "Did you know" / Sexism / Cliche / Antihumor
Shock / racism / cruel / sexual or alluding to sexual humor
Super-easy childlike riddles that don't require any thought.
Keep riddles short with single-word answers. Avoid plurals if possible.
Pop culture or trade jokes.
No English riddles with one-letter answers
