Riddle: Take me out of a window, and I leave a grieving wife. But stick me in a door, and I can save somebody’s life. What am I?
Answer and Explanation
Answer: Letter “N”
Explanation:
Removing the letter “N” from the word “window” leaves “widow,” which signifies a grieving wife.

Riddle: I take care of you from head to toe. The harder I work, the smaller I become. What am I?
Answer and Explanation
Answer: A bar of soap.
Explanation:
The answer is a bar of soap because it cleans and protects your body from head to toe, making it an essential tool for hygiene. As you use it, the soap dissolves or gets used up, gradually shrinking in size.
An alternative answer could be a lotion or moisturizer. These products are applied all over the body, from head to toe, to keep the skin soft and hydrated. The more they are used, the less remains in the container, making them a fitting alternative answer to the riddle.
