Riddle from the Hobbit (Posted on 2003-06-05) Difficulty: 2 of 5
This thing all things devours:

Birds, beasts, trees, flowers;
Gnaws iron, bites steel;
Grinds hard stones to meal;
Slays king, ruins town,
And beats high mountain down.

Well, like many of you said, the answer "time" seems right, even though it doesn't really fit. Maybe it's some other answer, but time does seem to work.
