What can move fast without having legs or wheels? The clue points toward something that travels naturally rather than through walking, running, or rolling.
Answer: The wind.
Wind can move extremely quickly, yet it has no legs, wheels, or physical mechanism carrying it along. Wind is moving air, driven by differences in atmospheric pressure. We can feel it and see its effects on trees, flags, clouds, and other objects even though we cannot see the air itself.
The riddle works because the word “move” makes us picture a person, animal, or vehicle. Thinking about forces of nature leads to the answer.
