Crossword Genius

Heavenly tiles Alec makes (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

celestial

'heavenly' is the definition.
(I know that heavenly can be written as celestial)

'tiles alec makes' is the wordplay.
'makes' indicates an anagram.
'tiles'+'alec'='tilesalec'
'tilesalec' anagrammed gives 'CELESTIAL'.

(Other definitions for celestial that I've seen before include "Relating to the heavens" , "Heavenly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
