A riddle is a statement, question, or phrase having a double or veiled meaning, put forth as a puzzle to be solved. Riddles are of two types: enigmas, which are problems generally expressed in metaphorical or allegorical language that requires ingenuity and careful thinking for their solution,
and conundra, which are questions relying on their effects on punning in either the question or the answer. Archer Taylor says that “we can probably say that riddling is a universal art” and cites riddles from hundreds of different cultures including Finnish,
Hungarian, American Indian, Chinese, Russian, Dutch, and Filipino sources amongst many others.[ Many riddles and riddle-themes are internationally widespread!
