Answer:
DESIRED
Hint:
Think of a word that describes something you long for or wish to have, often used when talking about dreams or ambitions.
Explanation:
"Sought-after" is a straightforward definition clue pointing to something people want or long for. The answer "DESIRED" fits perfectly because it means the same thing—something that’s wished for or considered valuable. There’s no hidden wordplay here; it’s a direct synonym match, which is common in simpler crossword clues. If you think of words like "coveted" or "popular," they share the same idea but "desired" is the most concise fit.
