Now, go download our app before we take a look at yesterday’s riddle. Done downloading? Great! Here’s how yesterday’s riddle went:
Who makes it, has no need of it. Who buys it has no use for it. Who uses it can neither see nor feel it. What is it?
The answer to this tricky riddle: a coffin! Quite a tough nut to crack, eh? But of course, you lot still ended up making mincemeat out of it… As always, those who got it correct will have a well-deserved shout-out at the bottom of this newsletter. ‘Til the next riddle, folks!
