Puzzle in game to be worked out (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enigma

'puzzle' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'in game to be worked out' is the wordplay.
'to be worked out' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'game'='ingame'
'ingame' anagrammed gives 'ENIGMA'.

(Other definitions for enigma that I've seen before include "Mysterious puzzle" , "Difficult problem" , "Puzzle of gamine (6)," , "Gamine being a bit of a puzzle" , "Mysteriously puzzling person or thing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
