TODAY’S RIDDLE IS:
My beard is powerful.
I shave every day,
But it remains unchanged.
What am I?
As always, tokens will be awarded to the first correct answer and the most creative incorrect one.
YESTERDAY’S WINNERS:
The first correct answer to yesterday’s riddle (what room in a home do ghosts avoid?) was snagged by Sydni Nadler (the living room), and there were some excellent contenders for most creative incorrect one! But we’re going with Bri Mirabile’s “the chapel I’ve had to make in my house since mass is online now.” Congratulations to you both!

A beard this powerful must belong to someone with ~otherworldly~ power. I would say Gandalf the White after he becomes more powerful as the head of his Order. The authority used to be vested in Saruman, but one day he shaved, and his beard didn’t come back! He figured Sauron might be able to help him, so he started working for him. That’s right, Saruman became a servant of Sauron, so he could rejuvenate his beard again.
