The riddle “what kind of room has no windows or doors” is very popular and the answer is a mushroom. Many riddles are plays on words or give properties of one item to another that has a similar sound or working.
Riddles held a place of distinction and took ingenuity to solve in the middle ages. The answers were not as transparent as some modern riddles.
