Most intelligent (9)

I think it could be either:

cleverest

brainiest

'most intelligent' is the definition.

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for cleverest that I've seen before include "of superlative brilliance" , "Brighter than others" , "Smartest" , "most able" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
