- For the character in the Chronicles of Narnia series, see Puzzle (Narnia).
A puzzle is a problem or enigma that challenges ingenuity. People often contrive such problems as a form of entertainment, but they can also stem from serious mathematical or logistical problems — in such cases, their successful resolution can be a significant contribution to mathematical research.
