Today’s challenge comes in the form of a tricky riddle that has left many people scratching their heads. It may look simple at first, but the wording is designed to make you think beyond the obvious. So take your time, read carefully, and see if you can solve it before looking at the answer.

Here is the riddle: **“A woman in a boat, on a lake, is wearing a coat. If you want to know her name, it’s in the riddle I wrote. What’s her name?”** At first, you might assume that the answer is hidden somewhere among the words describing the woman, the boat, or the lake. But there is a clever clue right at the beginning.

Read the opening words carefully: **“There’s a woman in a boat…”** The riddle tells you that the woman’s name is contained within the sentence itself. The key is the word **“There.”** It sounds like a normal part of the sentence, but the puzzle uses it as the woman’s name.

So the answer is **“There.”** It is a simple wordplay trick that can be easy to miss if you focus too much on the story rather than the exact wording. Did you solve it before seeing the answer? If so, you may have caught the trick faster than most. Share the riddle with your friends and see whether they can figure it out, too.
