Discover LudwigThe phrase "a trying for" is not correct and does not convey a clear meaning in written English.
It seems to be an attempt to express a struggle or effort towards something, but it lacks proper structure.
Example: "It was a trying for success that ultimately led to failure." (Note: This example is awkward and not standard English.)
Alternatives: "a struggle for" or "an effort to".
