Enigma

Enigma

<en-nig-ma>

puzzle; riddle; secret;

something that is a mystery or confusing.

That magic trick is an enigma to me. I don't know how it's done.

Memory trick:
En reminds of in
igma reminds of game
a puzzle is in a game

Used at work:
Your program is an enigma. No one knows how to use it.
