but I only ever use your own words.
I have no mouth, no body and no opinions.
What am I?
💡 Hint
It is a sound that comes back to you a second or two late.
Reveal answer
An echo.
An echo is your own voice bouncing off a hard surface and returning to your ears. It “answers” every question with exactly the words you used, it has no mouth and no body, and it never adds an opinion of its own. Canyons are famous for echoes because their tall rock walls reflect sound back over a long distance, which creates a clear delay between your shout and the reply.
Did you get it?
About This Puzzle
Imagine standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon on a quiet morning. You shout a question into the air, and something answers. This riddle asks you to name that something.
How to Think About It
Notice that the riddle never says the thing is alive. It talks back, but only by repeating. Think about what happens physically when sound hits a large rock wall. The canyon is not just scenery in this riddle; it is part of the mechanism.
