“Riddles have been around for centuries with the word “riddle” meaning a statement or question that presents a puzzle that must be solved in order to achieve the answer. The word originates from the same word as “read”; stemming from the Old English word “ræ̅dan” which means “to interpret or guess.” Over many years, it developed into Middle English redel, evolving into the meaning of “to understand or interpret symbols.” However, as the word has changed throughout the years, the meaning has remained the same.”
