The more you take, the more you leave behind. What am I? Footsteps.
The more you have of me, the less you see. What am I? Darkness.
I am not alive, but I grow. I don’t have lungs, but I need air. I don’t have a mouth, but water kills me. What am I? Fire.
I get wetter the more I dry. What am I? A towel.
I become shorter the longer I live. What am I? A candle.
I am light as a feather, yet the strongest man can’t hold me for much longer than a minute. What am I? Breath.
I am invisible, but you can feel me. I am intangible, but you can hear me. What am I? The wind.
I have keys but open no locks. What am I? A piano.
The more of me there is, the less you see. What am I? Fog.
I am always in front of you, but you can never see me. What am I? The future.
I don’t have wings, but I can fly. I don’t have eyes, but I can cry. Wherever I go, darkness follows me. What am I? A cloud.
I am not alive, but I can die. What am I? A battery.
I can be stolen, but I can’t be touched. What am I? A heart.
I am something that comes once in a minute, twice in a moment, but never in a thousand years. What am I? The letter "M."
I can be cracked, but never broken. What am I? A promise.
I am always with you, but I can’t be seen. What am I? Your shadow.
I’m small but I can cover miles. What am I? A footprint.
The more you have of me, the less you know. What am I? A secret.
I’m something that can fill a room, but I don’t take up space. What am I? Light.
I am always with you, but you never see me. I can be forgotten, but I never leave. What am I? Your name.
The more of me there is, the less you hear. What am I? Silence.
I can travel around the world while staying in the corner. What am I? A stamp.
I am something that can be cracked, but I can’t be touched. What am I? A code.
I am something you can hear, but not touch. I can be loud or soft, but I can never be seen. What am I? Sound.
I am something that you can never keep, no matter how hard you try. What am I? The present moment.
I am not alive, but I grow. I don’t have a mouth, but I can speak. What am I? A rumor.
I am always running, but I never move. What am I? A clock.
I get bigger the more you take away. What am I? A hole.
I can’t be seen, but I can be felt. I have no color, but I make things clear. What am I? Understanding.
I get smaller the more you use me. What am I? A pencil.
I can be broken without being touched. What am I? A promise.
I am something that everyone has, but no one can keep forever. What am I? Time.
I can be light as a feather, but even the strongest hands cannot hold me. What am I? A thought.
The more you take from me, the greater I become. What am I? A debt.
I am often in front of you, but I’m never within reach. What am I? The horizon.
You can see me every day, but I will never be seen the same way twice. What am I? The sky.
I am not alive, but I grow over time. What am I? A reputation.
I can’t be touched, but I can touch everything. What am I? A feeling.
I never speak, but I can communicate. What am I? A look.
I can be hard, but I am not solid. What am I? A deadline.
