Wry (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

ironic

rueful

(Other definitions for ironic that I've seen before include "Strange and perverse" , "Perversely humorous" , "Perversely amusing" , "Using the opposite of the truth for humorous effect" , "Cruelly funny" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Times.
