A Daily Riddle as a Puzzle Format
Some riddles invite a direct deduction; others depend on re-framing the question or noticing an assumption. “Lateral thinking” is a common label for the latter style of puzzle. It describes a format, not a guarantee about creativity or problem-solving ability.
Example
- Vertical Thinking: Digging the same hole deeper.
- Lateral Thinking: Digging a hole somewhere else.
