Hex (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

spell

curse

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">hex</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(spelling is a kind of hexing)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for spell that I've seen before include "Period of time - bewitching utterance" , "Short period of time; incantation" , "Indicate" , "Short time, splinter" , "Magical charm; period" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Star Tribune, the LA Times and The Sunday Times.
