Far-flung relief for the fearful (6)
I believe the answer is:
afraid
'the fearful' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'far-flung relief' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'far' is 'afr' which is present in the answer.
'relief' could be 'aid' (I've seen this before) and 'aid' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for afraid that I've seen before include "Fearful, anxious" , "Regretfully" , "Frightened" , "Alarmed, fearful" , "Not confident" .)
