Thanks to Cryptolith Rite, your creatures gain the vital ability to tap for mana, transforming the Puzzlemaker into a mana source that pays for its own activation. You then use Freed from the Real to untap the Moonfolk Puzzlemaker for a single blue mana, which is generated directly by tapping it for mana through the Rite's granted ability. Repeating this tap-and-untap cycle allows you to continuously trigger the Puzzlemaker's scry ability until your library is arranged exactly as you desire.
