Tricky maneuver (4)
I believe the answer is:
wile
'tricky maneuver' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for wile that I've seen before include "Cunning ruse" , "Artfulness" , "Coax - pleasing artifice" , "Chicanery" , "Trick, stratagem" .)
