Happy as a clam (6)

I believe the answer is:

elated

'happy as a clam' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for elated that I've seen before include "Joyful, uplifted" , "Overjoyed, extremely pleased" , "Jubilant, very pleased" , "Full of high-spirited delight" , "Very pleased, quite high" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
