Surface on cloth sends pot wrong way (3)
I believe the answer is:
nap
'surface on cloth' is the definition.
'nap' can be an answer for 'surface' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'on cloth' bit.
'pot wrong way' is the wordplay.
'pot' becomes 'pan' (I've seen this in other clues).
'wrong way' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'pan' back-to-front is 'NAP'.
'sends' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nap that I've seen before include "Sleep briefly" , "Siesta" , "Kip" , "A brief informal sleep" , "One likely to win" .)
