Characters in farm I'd offer place in the field (3-3)
I believe the answer is:
mid off
'the field' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'characters in farm i'd offer place' is the wordplay.
'characters in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'MID-OFF' can be found hidden inside 'farm id offer place'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mid off that I've seen before include "Cricket fielding position" , "Fielder near bowler (usually)" , "Position in the field" , "man in field" .)
