unraveller
One who untangles
An unraveller is someone or something that unravels—that pulls apart threads, undoes tangles, or solves mysteries.
A detective is an unraveller of crimes; a scholar might be an unraveller of ancient texts.
The word implies patient work at something knotted or complicated: She was the unraveller of family secrets no one else would touch.
