Crossword Genius

Uninteresting version of a raid (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arid

'uninteresting' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'version of a raid' is the wordplay.
'version of' indicates an anagram.
'raid' with letters rearranged gives 'ARID'.

(Other definitions for arid that I've seen before include "Tedious; short of rain" , "Extremely dry" , "Wadi may be this" , "Dry raid" , "Dry, devoid of interest" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
