     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.</description></item><item><title>Re: riddle/puzzle</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/RiddlePuzzle/zvdxv/post.htm#438373</link><pubDate>Sun, 08 Mar 2009 09:19:48 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:438373</guid><dc:creator>Marius Hancu</dc:creator><slash:comments>2</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/RiddlePuzzle/zvdxv/post.htm#438373</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-438373.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>riddle: more of a mistery

 Do riddle and puzzle communicate the same idea to you? If not, which fits better in the above diction and why? Thanks.</description></item></channel></rss>
