Why Do People Use ‘Riddles’ to Solve Mysteries?

Riddles help us think differently. Imagine you're solving a mystery, like finding a hidden treasure. A riddle gives you clues that aren't obvious at first. It's like a puzzle, you have to piece things together to see the whole picture. Riddles make us use our imagination and logic, which helps solve bigger problems.
