solver
One finding answers
A solver is a person or thing that finds solutions to problems.
In computing, a solver is software that performs calculations to resolve equations, optimize variables, or work through logical constraints: The spreadsheet's solver found the optimal budget allocation.
Someone who solves puzzles or mysteries is a solver: crossword solver, problem solver.
