overall

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'complete position of w in wall'?' is the definition.
'overall' can be an answer for 'complete' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'position of w in wall'?' bit.

'complete position of w in wall'?' is the wordplay.
'complete' becomes 'over' (I've seen this in other clues).
'position of w in wall'?' becomes 'all' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'over'+'all'='OVERALL'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overall that I've seen before include "blanket" , "Protective cover for worker" , "sweeping?" , "It protects a worker" , "Protective outer garment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
