This riddle asks:
“What can be cracked, made, told, and played?”
At first, those four clues seem unrelated. Something can be cracked, something else can be made, and plenty of things can be told or played.
But there is one word that works with all four.
You can crack a joke, make a joke, tell a joke, and even play a joke on someone.
The trick is finding one answer that naturally fits every phrase.
Answer: A joke.
