solved
Mystery no longer
Solved describes something that has been figured out or resolved.
A solved mystery no longer puzzles anyone.
A solved equation has yielded its answer.
When a problem is solved, the work is done: Consider it solved.
The word often appears in contexts where difficulty or uncertainty has been overcome: a solved case, a solved puzzle.
