Thoughtful letters read aloud (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wise

'thoughtful' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'letters read aloud' is the wordplay.
'letters' becomes 'Ys' (more than one Y).
'read aloud' shows a homophone (sound like).
'ys' sounds like 'WISE'.

(Other definitions for wise that I've seen before include "Morecambe partner" , "Sagacious" , "Sapient" , "Astute" , "Clever" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
