The built-in hint system uses a points-based approach: earn one point for the first letter, two for the last, three for the number of letters, and four for the full solution.

My little sister and I have been doing all these riddles together and have been loving it... until I came across one in April that was completely unnecessarily sexual and dirty. I'm extremely disappointed that they took a kid friendly game and ruined it with on stupid riddle.

I just finished solving all the riddles with a balance of 732 points!! My sister introduced this app to me in November and I played it in my spare time. A few times I accidentally hit clues when changing the letters around. I wonder who has the highest points! A really fun app that makes you look outside the box. Love it!!

Many of these riddles are excellent but a substantial percentage appear to have been written by someone who speaks English as a second language or were written by someone who does not quite grasp the point of riddles. The object of a riddle is to provide RELEVANT information about the solution. Tricky word uses are great as are clues that don't have an obvious connection to the solution. However if the provided information has no connection with the riddle it isn't really a brain teaser - it's a guessing game. Guessing games and riddles are quite different. My recommendation is to look back over the clues and solutions. Any riddles with clues that aren't relevant need to be revised or replaced.
