In case you are stuck on the "riddle" I made above, make sure you use clue #3. You also can try using a hashtag in front of clue #3.

Try combining clues 1 and 3.

The answer to the mystery may surprise you! 🤣 It's probably not what you are expecting...

Using #1 by itself won't get you far. I was quite diabolical when I made the above riddle. Can we call these riddles?

If you want another "free clue" go look at some of my interests in my book categories. A few should stand out.

Hope this helps.

And I advise you use the " " around clue 3 as well if you don't use the hashtag.
