I believe the answer is:

water

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

'what can' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'a wet mixture? right' is the wordplay.
'mixture?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'mixture' mean this).
'right' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'a'+'wet'='awet'
'awet' with letters rearranged gives 'wate'.
'wate'+'r'='WATER'

'make' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for water that I've seen before include "Commonest fluid" , "Earth, air, fire partner" , "Quality of diamonds" , "Gem quality; fluid" , "What can produce solution" .)
