But both seem to work in this context.

To me there is a difference:
A riddle is a question or statement phrased so as to require ingenuity in finding its answer or meaning.
A puzzle is a game, toy, or problem designed to test ingenuity or knowledge
A riddle is always expressed in words while a puzzle need not be.
