Crossword Genius

Possibly try this dry (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thirsty

'dry' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'possibly try this' is the wordplay.
'possibly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'try'+'this'='trythis'
'trythis' anagrammed gives 'THIRSTY'.

(Other definitions for thirsty that I've seen before include "Wanting a drink" , "Needing a drink" , "Gasping" , "Needing a tipple" , "Feeling dehydrated" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
