It is a puzzle. Take a word eg: puzzles; mix it up: zelspuz and re-arrange it to get the correct word. Sometimes a cryptic clue is given to assist. I love doing these, it really keeps your mind active.

A conumdrum is mental puzzle that needs to be solved, often with a moral aspect to it.
eg: What came first the chicken or the egg?
