Sorts of riddles? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sifts

I believe this is a double definition.

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

'riddles?' is the second definition.
(riddling is a kind of sifting)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sifts that I've seen before include "Passes through a sieve" , "Strains, sieves" , "Riddles" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
