Publisher's Synopsis
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 "ræ¯dan" 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.
Riddles are fun for kids and adults of all ages who are looking to test their genius and are trying to challenge their critical thinking and problem-solving skills. There are some of riddles out there; ones that are simple and easy for a child to solve, ones that require a detailed explanation in order for the answer to make sense, and ones that are so tricky that they might be nearly impossible to solve.
