A pun is a form of wordplay that exploits multiple meanings of a term, or of similar-sounding words, for a humorous or rhetorical effect. Puns often involve the use of words with multiple meanings or words that sound similar but have different meanings, and they are often used to create a play on words or to add humor to a sentence or phrase. For example, "I'm reading a book on anti-gravity. It's impossible to put down!" In this case, the pun is based on the multiple meanings of "put down," which can mean both "stop reading" and "physically set down."

Pun Definition: A pun is a form of wordplay that involves exploiting multiple meanings of a term or using words that sound alike but have different meanings in order to create a humorous or witty effect. For example, "I told my wife she was drawing her eyebrows too high. She looked surprised."
On the other hand, a riddle is a type of puzzle that poses a question or problem that requires clever thinking to solve. Riddles often involve wordplay, but they typically have a more straightforward question-and-answer format than puns.
Puns rely on wordplay for their humor, while riddles rely on a clever question or problem to solve.
