Crossword Genius

Last character round to play game (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

omega

'last character' is the definition.
(Greek alphabet)

'round to play game' is the wordplay.
'round' becomes 'o' (o is a circular letter).
'to play' indicates an anagram.
'game' is an anagram of 'mega'.
'o'+'mega'='OMEGA'

(Other definitions for omega that I've seen before include "Athenian character" , "letter to Greeks" , "in Greece, the limit!" , "Art of story-telling by body movement" , "Traditional story" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
