Puzzle sure to work with bishop (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebus

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

'sure to work with bishop' is the wordplay.
'to work with' indicates anagramming the letters (letters worked into a new order).
'bishop' becomes 'B' (chess abbreviation).
'sure' anagrammed with 'b' makes 'REBUS'.

(Other definitions for rebus that I've seen before include "Problem" , "Picture-letter puzzle" , "Picture and word puzzle" , "that's puzzling" , "Visual type of word puzzle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
