Try joke (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crack

This clue is a double definition.

'try' is the first definition.
(I know that crack is a type of try)

'joke' is the second definition.
(a crack is a joke or quip)

(Other definitions for crack that I've seen before include "Joke; split" , "Narrow opening, break" , "Fracture" , "find solution" , "Ace" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
