To reformulate a question like 'Who catches flies with its long tongue?' without using question word order, you can use verbs such as guess, tell, name, or say. These verbs allow you to convert direct questions into indirect questions or commands.

Here are some examples:

  • Guess: "Guess who catches flies with its long tongue."
  • Tell: "Tell me who catches flies with its long tongue."
  • Name: "Name the animal that catches flies with its long tongue."
  • Say: "Say who catches flies with its long tongue."

Each reformulation maintains the original meaning but avoids starting with the question word who directly in the sentence. Instead, the question becomes part of a statement or command.
