I rarely use riddles. When I do, it’s either because they’re in a module I’m running, or I use them as part of an optional section of the adventure. If I can help it, I never put the goal of the adventure behind a riddle. I generally treat them like bonus content – if you get it, you can take a shortcut or get access to some good treasure.
One thing I’ve discovered is that, invariably, someone will come up with the answer in the first five minutes of discussion, but discount it and go down some other rabbit hole. Every time!
