Tricks (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ruses

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">tricks</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(a ruse is a trick or ploy)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for ruses that I've seen before include "Clever stratagems" , "Clever strategems or plans" , "cunning tricks" , "Stratagem designed to deceive" , "Cunning plans" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Wall Street Journal, the Penny Press, the Universal, the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today and The New York Times.
