This riddle asks: what gets bigger every time you turn it?
A common intended answer is a snowball.
When you turn or roll a snowball across fresh snow, more snow sticks to its surface. With each roll, it can become larger and larger.
The clue is easy to overthink because “turn it” might make you imagine a knob, a screw, or a dial. But the riddle is using “turn” in the sense of rolling something over and over.
A snowball starts small in your hands, then grows as it moves through the snow. The more you roll it, the bigger it becomes. That simple physical action is what gives the riddle its answer.
