Crossword Genius

Few like this going to Maine (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

some

'few' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'like this going to maine' is the wordplay.
'like this' becomes 'so'.
'going to' says to put letters next to each other.
'maine' becomes 'me'.
'so'+'me'='SOME'

(Other definitions for some that I've seen before include "Part" , "Undefined number" , "certain" , "Several" , "Unknown or unspecified amount or number" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
