A riddle is a puzzle or question posed as a test of wit, often involving wordplay or hidden meanings that require clever thinking to solve. Riddles matter because they have been used throughout history—as shown in ancient Greek mythology—as intellectual challenges that can have serious consequences, and they remain a way to exercise reasoning and creativity.
