Alphabetically, as far as F for "fake"? (5)
I believe the answer is:
paste
'for fake?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'alphabetically as far as f' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'as' is within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paste that I've seen before include "Stick using tapes" , "Adhesive; savoury spread" , "sound beating" , "Adhesive; imitation gem" , "not real rock" .)
