This classic riddle asks:
“What is at the end of a rainbow?”
At first, your mind may jump to the colorful arc we see in the sky after rain. You might think of a pot of gold, the horizon, or the place where the rainbow seems to touch the ground.
But this riddle is actually a wordplay puzzle.
Instead of thinking about a real rainbow, look closely at the word “rainbow” itself. The question asks what is at the very end of that word.
R-A-I-N-B-O-W
The final letter is W.
That simple twist is what makes the riddle fun. It sounds like a question about nature, but the answer is hidden right inside the wording.
Answer: The letter W.
