Tries to get an answer (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asks

'tries to get an answer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for asks that I've seen before include "Requests information about" , "Makes an inquiry" , "is curious" , "Enquires; requests" , "Puts a question" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and The Washington Post.
