Could any kind soul, just to put my mind at rest, explain how this clue leads to "wryest" ? (the only word I can find with this letter config!) Thanks

What is the clue please?
Sorry, I don't know the clue- can you tell it us please?
My guess would be something to do with railway (abbreviated in crosswords to RY) and West (does clue refer to Mae?)
Question Author
Wife joins railway head in sardonic style (6) I had W?YS?, ; know that w = wife; "ry" = railway; and "wry" means sardonic; but where's the head bit come in?
Are you sure it's not "wryness" with "ness" meaning head?
Wryness would be perfect if it was 7 letters but two posters (this one and peanut246) have both said it's only got 6 letters.
I prefer WRYISH to WRYEST byt can't fully explain either
Wryest is the answer.
Question Author
Thanks all - still puzzled - but shall await answer on Sat! Wryness would have made sense but wouldn't have fitted.
