Sly tricks (5)
I believe the answer is:
wiles
'sly tricks' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for wiles that I've seen before include "Deceitful ploys" , "Tricks designed to attract, often feminine" , "Pieces of trickery designed to attract" , "Pieces of trickery, to deceive or attract" , "Enticing stratagems" .)
