This riddle asks what kind of bag has no zipper, snaps, or handle. The wording makes you picture a purse, backpack, or shopping bag, but the answer is something much simpler.
The answer is a tea bag. A tea bag is still called a bag even though it does not need the usual features we associate with larger bags. It is a small pouch designed to hold tea leaves while hot water passes through it.
The trick is that the word “bag” covers many different objects, not only things we carry around. Once you stop thinking about luggage or handbags, the clue becomes much easier. It is a classic category-switch riddle: the answer fits the word perfectly, just not in the way you first expect.
