Fancier has best that is last of litter (9)
I believe the answer is:
flowerier
'fancier' is the definition.
(flowery can mean fancy or ornate)
'best that is last of litter' is the wordplay.
'best' becomes 'flower' (flower can mean the best or elite).
'that is' becomes 'ie' (short for Latin 'id est', 'that is').
'last of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'litter' is 'r'.
'flower'+'ie'+'r'='FLOWERIER'
'has' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
