Used to be (3)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

was

'used to be' is the definition.
(eg 'he was...' means 'he used to be...')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for was that I've seen before include "Did live" , "Lived" , "(He/she) existed" , "(I/he) existed" , "Existed in the past" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail, the Newsday, the Penny Press, The Telegraph, The Wall Street Journal, the Evening Standard, the LA Times, The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, The Independent and The Mirror.
