Scheme has the edge (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hem

'the edge' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'scheme has' is the wordplay.
'has' indicates a hidden word.
'HEM' is hidden in the letters of 'scheme'.

(Other definitions for hem that I've seen before include "try to attract attention" , "Finished edge of a piece of cloth" , "Border; fringe" , "Part of skirt" , "Sewn edge to fabric" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
