In height, we are way above (5)
I believe the answer is:
tower
'way above' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'in height we' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'height' becomes 'tor' (I've seen this in another clue).
'tor' going around 'we' is 'TOWER'.
'are' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tower that I've seen before include "See 4 Down" , "Campanile, spire etc" , "Reach high" , "Tall feature of Blackpool" , "Monument" .)
