Crossword Genius

Fine. Try to get the party returned (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

good

'fine' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'try to get the party returned' is the wordplay.
'try' becomes 'go' (go is a kind of try).
'to get' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the party' becomes 'do' (do is a kind of party**).
'returned' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'do' in reverse letter order is 'od'.
'go'+'od'='GOOD'

(Other definitions for good that I've seen before include "Worthy" , "Obedient" , "Carol character from 1 as of old" , "and 22 Down and 14 Across: Christmas carol" , "To be desired; pleasing" .)
