craves

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wants' is the definition.
(craving is a kind of wanting)

'go right into hollow places' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'right' could be 'r' (common abbreviation) and 'r' is found in the answer.
'hollow' could be 'cave' (caving is a kind of hollowing) and 'cave' is found within the remaining letters.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' acts as a link.
