solvable

Able to crack

Solvable describes something that can be solved—a problem with a solution, a mystery that can be unraveled, an equation that yields an answer.

The puzzle looked impossible but turned out to be solvable.

The word implies that resolution exists and is achievable, distinguishing tractable challenges from truly intractable ones.
