adjective
Clever at getting what one wants by sly or indirect means.
A crafty person is not merely intelligent but quietly scheming, the sort who plans several moves ahead and does not announce them. The word can be said with grudging admiration or with distrust, depending on the tone. It grows out of craft, which once meant skill or cunning, and an older sense of skilful in making still survives in some writing.
