You need some type-ins. I knew some answers but couldn't work out the required wording. For instance, I tried "there are no stairs" and "a minus sign". Also, for the third question, would "icicle" or "stalacmite" be acceptable answers?

Thanks! I have added those type-ins. As for the third riddle, I didn't think of those answers, but you are right. Thanks for pointing that out. I may replace that one as there is definitely a problem with there being more than one answer.
