Rancher is remote and runs after Kite (6)
I believe the answer is:
farmer
'rancher' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'remote and runs after kite' is the wordplay.
'remote' becomes 'far' (similar in meaning).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'kite' becomes 'me' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'r' after 'me' is 'mer'.
'far' put next to 'mer' is 'FARMER'.
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
