Puzzling piece of cryptic I'm on, generally read as Arabic? (6)
I believe the answer is:
gnomic
'puzzling' is the definition.
(I know that puzzling can be written as gnomic)
'piece of cryptic i'm on generally read as arabic?' is the wordplay.
'piece of' indicates a hidden word.
'read as arabic?' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'read as Arabic' mean this (Arabic is read from right to left)).
'cimong' is hidden in the letters of 'cryptic im on generally'.
'cimong' backwards is 'GNOMIC'.
(Other definitions for gnomic that I've seen before include "Sententious, aphoristic" , "Enigmatic; ambiguous" , "Of pithy writing embodying some moral precept - coming (anag)" , "pithy remark" , "Expressed in short, witty aphorisms" .)
