This might be a double definition.

'attempts' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for essays that I've seen before include "Endeavours" , "Tries for theses?" , "Written works" , "Attempts - written compositions" , "Tries the writings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
