Sly trick (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wile

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

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for wile that I've seen before include "Coax - pleasing artifice" , "Trick, stratagem" , "Chicanery" , "Artfulness" , "Cunning ruse" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press and The New York Times.
