No, of course. Jokes are not riddles! A joke is something you tell, like a line or a story. A riddle is something you ask someone that they have to figure out the answer.

While riddles can be jokes (not always), and some jokes are in the form of riddles, they are often not one in the same. Many people think of humorous stories when they hear the word joke. Riddles are often told or asked as humor, but not always. Riddles can also be puzzles or mind teasers rather than jokes. Funny riddles are one type of joke, but humor is much more than just riddles.
