teaser
Puzzle or preview
A teaser is something that stimulates curiosity without fully satisfying it.
A teaser for a film or TV show reveals just enough to generate interest: The studio released a teaser trailer.
A teaser can be a puzzle or riddle, a provocative advertisement, or a person who teases.
In journalism, a teaser is a brief item promoting a story to come.
