Crossword Genius

Game in form of a puzzle (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enigma

'a puzzle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'game in form' is the wordplay.
'form' indicates anagramming the letters.
'game'+'in'='gamein'
'gamein' with letters rearranged gives 'ENIGMA'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for enigma that I've seen before include "Conundrum" , "Puzzling person/thing" , "'Mystery, riddle (6)'" , "'Puzzle, riddle (6)'" , "Mystery U puzzle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
