This classic wordplay riddle asks: What kind of dress can never be worn?
The answer is: an address.
The word “address” contains the word “dress,” but it has nothing to do with clothing.
An address tells you where a person, home, or business is located, so it is not something you can put on and wear.
The riddle works by making you search for a type of clothing when the real answer is hidden inside another everyday word.
Once you notice “dress” inside “address,” the puzzle becomes easy. It is a simple spelling-based riddle that relies on looking at the word in a different way.
