Some craft can drift a long way! (3)
I believe the answer is:
far
'a long way' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'some craft can' is the wordplay.
'some' says to take the centre.
'can' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'canned' mean this (canned can mean drunk)).
The central letters of 'craft' are 'raf'.
'raf' is an anagram of 'FAR'.
'drift' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for far that I've seen before include "Distant" , "Remote" , "A long, long way to go" , "At a great distance way" , "Very much" .)
