This riddle asks: What has teeth and a handle but never eats?
The answer is: a comb.
A comb has a row of narrow points commonly called teeth, along with a handle on many designs. But despite having “teeth,” it obviously does not eat anything.
The riddle works because the word “teeth” makes you think of a mouth or an animal. In this case, the teeth are simply the parts of the comb that pass through hair.
Once you connect the clue about a handle with rows of teeth, the answer is easy to spot.
