This clever word riddle asks:
“Boys wear it daily, but girls wear it once a year. What is it?”
The answer is the letter Y.
The trick is not about clothing at all. Instead, you need to look carefully at the words in the riddle.
The word “boys” contains the letter Y, and the word “daily” also contains the letter Y. Meanwhile, the word “year” contains the letter Y once.
That is why the answer is the letter Y.
Riddles like this are designed to make you think literally at first. The word “wear” makes most people start thinking about clothes, shoes, hats, or accessories, but the real clue is hidden inside the spelling of the words themselves.
Did you spot the answer right away, or did this one make you think twice?
