Is it better to rise up or run? (8)
I believe the answer is:
superior
'is it better' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'rise up or run?' is the wordplay.
'run?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'run' mean this).
'rise'+'up'+'or'='riseupor'
'riseupor' is an anagram of 'SUPERIOR'.
'to' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for superior that I've seen before include "Snobbish" , "head of monastery" , "Higher, better or more important" , "Snooty" , "Higher in status" .)
