Crossword Genius

A puzzle for the Inspector (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebus

This clue is a double definition.

'a puzzle' is the first definition.
(type of visual puzzle)

'inspector' is the second definition.
(I know that Rebus is a inspector)

'for the' is the link.

(Other definitions for rebus that I've seen before include "Word puzzle involving pictures" , "solver?" , "Word-picture puzzle" , "Visual type of word puzzle" , "Picture-letter puzzle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
