word riddles
Language-based guessing games
Word riddles are puzzles that play on language—puns, double meanings, homophones, or misleading descriptions—to obscure an answer that becomes obvious once revealed.
The classic form poses a question with a clever or groan-inducing answer: What has hands but can't clap? A clock.
They test lateral thinking more than vocabulary.
