What's the end of rainbow answer? ›

The letter "W". That's an easy one.

Answer: There is no end of the rainbow. A rainbow is light, not a solid. And there is no leprechauns or pots of gold at the ends of rainbows.

Keep in mind that there is no real “end” to a rainbow. And that brings us to our idiom: the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The “pot of gold at the end of the rainbow” is something you really want to have or you really want to achieve.

People would try and find the ends of rainbows to reap the reward of gold. The idea of a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow was romanticized, and turned into the phrase we know today, which could mean the reward of much effort.
