Being more fortunate than others, Ulick gets sorted in hospital (7)
I believe the answer is:
luckier
'being more fortunate' is the definition.
('lucky' can be a synonym of 'fortunate')
'than others ulick gets sorted in hospital' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'ulick' is 'lucki' which is within the answer.
'in hospital' could be 'er' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'er' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for luckier that I've seen before include "More fortunate" , "More jammy" .)
