Riddle

A riddle is a statement, phrase or question that has a doubled or veiled meaning. There are two types of riddles: Enigmas which are problems that are generally expressed in a metaphorical way that require careful thinking for the answer. And Conundrums are questions that use wordplay or puns in the question or the answer.
