Crossword Genius

A devil or two (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

deuce

This clue is a double definition.

'a devil' is the first definition.
('deuce' can be a synonym of 'devil')

'two' is the second definition.
('deuce' can be a synonym of 'two')

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for deuce that I've seen before include "Dickens" , "A two in playing cards" , "A two; forty all" , "score at Wimbledon?" , "with equal score" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent and The Times.
