Abstract
Genres in Turkish folk literature are usually in verse, prose or verse-prose form. Riddles in this branch have a flexible structure in terms of form. There are riddles in verse form as well as those in prose form. Sometimes, a riddle text may be in both prose and verse form. In this article, the riddle texts of Western Turks are examined and form changes in them are determined. Depending on the achieved samples, it is concluded that the riddles are flexible in form and variation is also effective in this. This variation changes not only the exterior structure of the riddle but also the interior structure of the riddle.
