Clever tactic (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ploy

'clever tactic' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for ploy that I've seen before include "Game manoeuvre" , "Cunning manoeuvre to gain advantage" , "Trick" , "Cunning tactic" , "Cunning plan" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and The Wall Street Journal.
