Answer to the White Queen's Riddle

The answer to "The White Queen's Riddle" seems to be some kind of shellfish, probably an oyster or a clam.


An ironic and unexpected twist that was shown in "The Walrus and the Carpenter" was the fact that all of the oysters end up getting eaten. We, as readers, were unaware of this fact until the very end of the story, when the Carpenter received no response.
