If you are tired of getting roasted by intellectual NPCs while trying to become a martial arts legend, you have come to the right place for the ultimate Where Winds Meet Riddle Answers master list. In this game, your sword is useless against a “Riddle Scholar” who demands to know what creature “licks its claws” or what object represents “time.” These minigames are not just random trivia; they are a unique test of your cultural knowledge and lateral thinking, often rewarding you with valuable resources like Copper Coins, Echo Jade, and XP. But let’s be honest—sometimes the translations or vague clues make these impossible to guess. That is why we have compiled every single riddle solution currently known in the game into one massive, easy-to-read table. No skipping, no “common only” lists—this is the full archive. Whether you are stuck on “Green Bamboo Shoots” or the deceptively simple “Mud,” simply search the table below to find the exact keyword match and the winning answer to clear the trial instantly.
