What Can Run But Cannot Walk?

Published in Riddles 1 min read

This is a classic riddle! The answer is water.

Here's why:

  • Water flows and moves like running: You can see water flowing in rivers, streams, and even in a faucet.
  • Water doesn't have legs to walk: It lacks the physical structure to walk like humans or animals.

Other things that can run but cannot walk include:

  • Time: Time "runs" forward, but it doesn't have legs to walk.
  • A car: Cars "run" on an engine, but they don't walk.
  • A program: Computer programs "run" on a computer, but they don't walk.

This riddle plays on the multiple meanings of the word "run" to create a fun challenge.
