wry

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

But I can't explain it at all! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for wry that I've seen before include "Twisted; sardonic" , "Mockingly humorous" , "Perverse" , "Of facial expression, mocking or twisted" , "Crooked - droll" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
