🎉The Riddler wants to hear from you 🫵

Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

Hello, dearest riddle fiends 😈

You might have noticed we've been doing a few different things recently on The Neighbourly Ridder...

We took your thoughts from our last check-in and made some changes, left the riddles up for longer, as well as added some brand new rebus riddles to perplex your processor, and we wanted to know what you think 🤔

Are you a fan of the changes, or liked the way it was last time?
Is keeping the comments open longer so people can enjoy them more going well, or did you like it when we had a daily riddle?
Are you liking the new style of riddles? Would you like to keep them going, have more, or get rid of them?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments below 👀
Your ideas could help shape the next chapter of our riddles! 🧩
