Crossword Genius

Joker or Jack? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

card

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'joker' is the first definition.
(joker is a type of playing card)

'jack?' is the second definition.
(jack is a kind of card)

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for card that I've seen before include "Comb (wool)" , "A jack, for example" , "Thick paper" , "amusing character" , "Heart or club, say?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
