Definitions

  1. a person asked or expected to solve a riddle.

    • The second possible action by the riddler in the event the riddlee admits to no answer is to refuse to supply the riddlee with the answer, after which he may berate the riddlee for his failure.
    • Because riddlees have already solved the Sammael riddle and know that the referent of Sammael is imagination, they also know the identify of the controlling factor in the riddle of the Serpent.
    • The riddler hopes and expects the riddlee to not know the answer. Since the riddlee cannot give the answer, the riddler can then supply it, thus “winning” this minuscule “contest of wit.”
