The word enigmatic comes from enigma, meaning
a person or thing that is mysterious, puzzling, or difficult to understand.
Enigmatic puzzles are typically set up in a way where the solvers aren't immediately clear on where they should start. It should still be clear once it has been solved, so as not to invite speculative answers or risk being closed for being too open-ended.
