Achieve new status as a titan (6)
I believe the answer is:
attain
'achieve' is the definition.
('attain' can be a synonym of 'achieve')
'new status as a titan' is the wordplay.
'a titan' anagrams to 'ATTAIN'.
However, I am unsure how this is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for attain that I've seen before include "Succeed in getting or doing" , "Reach or accomplish" , "Succeed in accomplishing; reach" , "Succeed in reaching, achieve" , "Fulfil" .)
