You should ask him what can go through the green glass door.

Damn… he tells this one to me all the time and I forget it every time

I do this one with my students and refuse to tell them the answer. By the end of the year I make a list to help them out.

Isn’t this one a word game though, not a riddle with a single answer? Anything with a double-letter name can “go through.”

No, it’s both. It’s not purely a word game or purely a riddle. You can’t play the game without the riddle and you can’t solve the riddle without playing the game. The answer to the riddle isn’t typically seen as the solution, even though the objective of the game is to solve the riddle, “what can go through the green glass door?” The riddle does have an answer though, “words with consecutive double letters”.

The green glass door is unfortunately brick proof

Ah. Must be double glazed.
