English term or phrase: Extension of the riddle into words
J'ai besoin d'aide avec la fin de cette phrase s'il vous plait:

In this ambiguous terrain, the saying about nicely built cities is not a solution but an extension of the riddle into words

Ma traduction

Dans ce contexte ambigu, l’expression « de la ville bien construite » n’est pas une solution mais une extension de l’énigme exprimée par des mots. (???)

disagree  Sandra Mouton: Je ne vois pas d'où sort "rébus". Par ailleurs, "exprimé par" ne correspond pas au sens de "into".
