A dramatic attempt to include the elderly (7)
I believe the answer is:
tragedy
'a dramatic' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'attempt to include the elderly' is the wordplay.
'attempt to' becomes 'try' (I've seen this in other clues).
'include' indicates putting letters inside.
'the elderly' becomes 'aged' (I've seen this before).
'try' placed around 'aged' is 'TRAGEDY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tragedy that I've seen before include "shocking event" , "Distressing event" , "play by Shakespeare?" , "play such as Electra" , "sad event" .)
