Soft metal (3)

I believe the answer is:

tin

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for tin that I've seen before include "Canister" , "Metal in Argentina" , "Kind of metal often used as food container" , "Metal element" , "Cornish metal?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune and The Sun.
