Pulled (in) (6)

I think it could be either:

earned

reined

'pulled in' is the definition.
('earn' can be a synonym of 'pull in')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for earned that I've seen before include "Got from paid employment merited" , "well deserved" , "Merited through work" , "Merited through behavior" , "Merited through behaviour" .)

I've seen this clue in the L.A. Times Daily, the New York Times, the Universal, The Wall Street Journal and the Sydney Morning Herald.
