This quick word riddle asks: What kind of cheese is made backwards? The clue is not about how cheese is produced. It is about the word itself.
The answer is: Edam.
If you spell the word made backwards, you get Edam, which is also the name of a well-known cheese. That is the entire trick.
The riddle works because the phrase “made backwards” sounds as though it describes an unusual cooking or production process. Instead, you simply reverse the letters in the word “made.”
It is a neat example of a wordplay riddle where the answer is hidden directly inside the clue. Once you notice the spelling trick, the solution is immediate.
