Gets wiser (6)

I believe the answer is:

learns

(Other definitions for learns that I've seen before include "Teaches non-standard" , "Discovers" , "Gains knowledge or skill" , "Acquires knowledge or skills" , "Gains understanding from study or experience" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
