More intelligent installing bar in church? Right! (8)
I believe the answer is:
cleverer
'more intelligent' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bar in church? right' is the wordplay.
'bar' becomes 'lever' (lever is a kind of bar**).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'church?' becomes 'ce' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'lever' placed inside 'ce' is 'clevere'.
'clevere'+'r'='CLEVERER'
'installing' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cleverer that I've seen before include "Mentally quicker" , "More intelligent" , "More mentally quick" .)
