In my view, if you translate the riddle from a certain language, then you may need to provide the riddle in the language that was taken from. Then add your own translation. If you're a native speaker and this riddle originally was an English riddle, then you need to make sure of writing it correctly, because many times, you can find the answer within the text. If you provide the wrong information, don't expect to get a correct result. Usually, riddles from other languages are not really easy to solve because it's critical to understand everything in the question. But I could give you some thoughts that might help to find the answer. Firstly, you're supposed to start the sentence with a capital letter. Secondly, after the full stop, you need a capital letter too. So, your riddle might be like the following:

Heart of ice. Tall as a tree. Not to be Cryptic. Easily found when changing. The c to a d.

I'm thinking to add those letters together, then trying to make a word that fits the description of the riddle

If this is an English riddle and you're a native speaker, it will probably be much easier for you. Because it needs to have more vocabulary. But what if this version was wrong and the reddle should be written like the following:

Or

Heart of ice. Tall as a tree. Not to be Cryptic. Easily found when changing the c to a d.

HTNCE

You see, the second version is different, so the thinking would be different, and the result would be different, too.

All I can say to you is that you have to make sure of the correct version of that riddle. Then take the capital letter of each sentence and try to make a word that fits the description of the riddle. In addition, see if you find "c" in the word you found, then change it to "d" or "ad". (Make sure whether there is a space between a and d)

I don't know if "a" in the "a d" is an article before letters. Should we add an article before letters in the first place?

If it's an article then, change c to d.

Another thought,

take the word "Cryptic" and change every "C" to "d" or "ad" or "a d" (It depends on the correct version of the question)

And see if you can find a noun that fits the riddle's description.
