Closer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nearer

'closer' is the definition.
('near' can be a synonym of 'close')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for nearer that I've seen before include "Closer, not so far" , "Closer - my God to Thee?" , "Closer at hand" , "Well-known hymn '. . . . . . my God to Thee'" , "Not so far away" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Mirror, the Penny Press, the Evening Standard, The Star Tribune and the USA Today.
