Tried rambling, only to get weary (5)
I believe the answer is:
tired
'weary' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'tried rambling only to' is the wordplay.
'tried' can be anagrammed to 'TIRED'.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.
'get' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tired that I've seen before include "Spent" , "Drowsy" , "Exhausted" , "ready for bed" , "Depleted of energy" .)
