I am looking for the name of a type of word puzzle.?

For example; they will have the word "stood" above a line and the word "I" under the line and the solution is "I understood".
Does anyone know what I am talking about and what they are called?
Thanks so much!

I don't believe there is a name for these. I've only seen them referred to as riddles. I do know what you are talking about.
