Antagonist of the solver? (6)

I believe the answer is:

setter

(Other definitions for setter that I've seen before include "Puzzle composer" , "who is giving you problems right now?" , "Crossword maker; dog" , "It helps to locate game" , "Crossword composer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
