Riddle cracked in game (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enigma

'riddle' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'cracked in game' is the wordplay.
'cracked' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'game'='ingame'
'ingame' is an anagram of 'ENIGMA'.

(Other definitions for enigma that I've seen before include "Mysterious person/thing" , "Conundrum" , "WWII cipher" , "Mysterious or puzzling thing" , "Puzzle of gamine (6)," .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
