This handwritten word puzzle has been sparking some great conversations online! It is a classic brain teaser that might just bring back a few memories, and it is a wonderful test of your creative thinking.
The image asks a very simple question: “What can you catch but not keep?”
What makes this puzzle so clever is the double meaning of the word “catch.” Because the riddle talks about catching and keeping, our brains naturally jump straight to physical objects like a baseball, a fish, or a falling leaf. However, if you catch those things, you generally have the ability to keep them!
To solve this one, you have to think about common phrases and things you “catch” as an expression instead of a physical action. While you can catch someone’s attention or catch a glimpse of something, there is one thing we all catch from time to time that we definitely want to get rid of as soon as possible!
Answer: A cold.
