Walks like drifters (6)
I believe the answer is:
tramps
This clue could be a double definition.
'walks' is the first definition.
(tramp is a kind of walk)
'drifters' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'like' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tramps that I've seen before include "Walks heavily and firmly" , "Goes on a long walk" , "Vagrants or hoboes" , "Journeys wearily" , "Walks heavily like hoboes" .)
