RIDDLES
Definition of Riddles
A riddle is a question, a puzzle, a phrase, or a
statement devised to get unexpected or clever answers.
It is a folklore genre as well as rhetorical device, often
having veiled or double meanings. When someone uses
it as a puzzle or a question, it could be a
thought-provoking challenge for the audience to figure
it out themselves, or it could be a funny comment
intended to make the audience laugh.
Social Function of Riddles
When someone uses a riddle, it can be a thought provoking
challenge to figure it out on your own, or it can be a funny comment
that makes you laugh. Riddles can be great brain busters or
conversation starters to get you think. Riddle games have been
played since times, and are still being played today.
Riddles have significant roles. They include roles that may be
described as cultural, educative, intellectual, ideological,
cosmological, and political. Riddles teach logic about the social and
cultural environment, social norms, history, biology, and much more.
Riddles can help in memory training for children as they are
expected and encourage to remember the correct answers to the
riddles. Riddles also can help to introduce a variety of vocabulary.
They also provide opportunities to play phonetic, morphological,
grammatical, and semantic games as they exhibit a variety of
linguistic expressions and structures.
STRUCTURE OF RIDDLE
Riddle have no form set. Riddles can be a

question with a quick witty answer. They can
be just a sentence that makes you have a
sudden realization. We can also create riddles
from words that rhythm with a word in a
riddle’s answer, other word and phrases that
use the funny part of an answer.
Types of Riddles
a. Enjgma. This type of Riddles is a statement or question that

employs metaphorical or allegorical language. The person
trying to solve the riddles must use careful thinking and some
ingenuity to reach the answer. For example,I’m tall when I’m
young and I’m short when I’m old. What am I? The answer is a
candle.
b. Conundra. This type of Riddle relies on some sort of pun
either in the original statement or in the answer. For example,
what is the longest word in the dictionary? The answer is
smiles because there is a mile between each’s.
CHARACTERISTIC OF RIDDLE
A riddle is a verbal puzzle, an enigmatic

statement, description, or question posed by
one person to another, or to a group, who
have to guess the answer. We use the term
loosely for more than one kind of puzzle.
However, the riddle proper relies on imagery
for its effects; often quite poetic imagery.
Some riddles use pronoun “i” even though the
word that should be guessed is a thing. For
example : “If you have me, you won’t to
share me. If you share me, you haven’t got
me. What am i?” The answer is “a secret”.
