Crossword Genius

Puzzle over people carrier (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebus

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

'over people carrier' is the wordplay.
'over' becomes 're'.
'people carrier' becomes 'bus' (I've seen this before).
're'+'bus'='REBUS'

(Other definitions for rebus that I've seen before include "Picture-puzzle" , "Word-picture puzzle" , "Puzzling device" , "Pictorial pun - fictional detective" , "Problem" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
