unravelable
Able to solve
Unravelable describes something that can be unraveled—either literally, like a knitted sweater whose yarn can be pulled loose, or figuratively, like a mystery that can be solved through careful investigation.
The conspiracy proved unravelable once investigators found the first thread.
The spelling unravellable also appears, particularly in British English.
