Made of Five Letters and Seven Letters
I’m made out of five letters,
And I’m made out of seven letters;
I have keys but I don’t have locks,
I’m concerned with time, but not with clocks.
What am I?
A piano. The word piano has five letters, and the scale on the piano is A through G, seven letters. The piano keys don’t have locks and playing piano requires you to keep time (but with a metronome, not a clock).
Long and Thin
Long and thin, red within,
With a nail at the end.
What am I?
A finger.
Tall in Morning, Short at Noon
Tall in the morning, short at noon, gone at night but I’ll be back soon. What am I?
A shadow.
No One Can Reach It
It’s red, blue, purple and green, no one can reach it, not even the queen. What is it?
A rainbow.
The Densest of My Clan
You ride on me every day but barely notice,
I’m hot and cold at the very same time,
I’m the densest of my clan,
And my first three help you enjoy music.
What am I?
Earth. Most people don’t stop to think that they’re hurtling through space on a huge planet. At any given time the Earth has burning hot magma and freezing arctics at the same time. The Earth is the densest planet and the first three letters, “ear” help you listen to music.
I Cannot Speak
I cannot speak but I have great knowledge,
I’m not a tree but I have leaves.
I have hinges but I am neither a door nor a window.
What am I?
A book.
