Crossword Genius

Sudden shot (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snap

This clue is a double definition.

'sudden' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'shot' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for snap that I've seen before include "Photograph - card game" , "Informal photograph" , "that's a copy!" , "game of cards" , "Break sharply like dry twig" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
