Yes, that's one way to define "one direction". Another definition might be clockwise. Another might be east. Still another might be up.
All are perfectly within the rules of riddles. Words can be, and often are, used in ways that are misleading. It's part of the game.
Your argument seems to be that I used a phrase in a way that caused you to mistake my intent; I accept that. The only way I could be wrong is to prove that I used the words "one direction" in a way that is completely unacceptable in the English language. You can not. Clock hands move in one direction. Time moves in one direction. If you pay attention to the linguistic use of the phrase, not the concepts behind them, you'll see my point.
