Better way into the wood (5)
I believe the answer is:
finer
'better' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'way into the wood' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'way' could be 'r' (abbreviation for right) and 'r' is found in the answer.
'into' could be 'in' and 'in' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'fe' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for finer that I've seen before include "Better quality" , "Better; more slender" , "Of higher quality" , "More gossamer or splendid" , "More thin, excellent" .)
