‘Make very happy’ clue difficulty rating

The word “ELATE” isn’t very common in this form since it’s usually tough to use in a sentence. “ELATED” is a lot more usable and common overall, but since this word doesn’t fit here, there’s a good chance you may not consider “ELATE” at all for this clue.

There are also many other ways to say “Make very happy,” which means arriving at the word “ELATE” can be rather tough. This is certainly a tricky clue to solve, but not one of the hardest ones I’ve seen. Because of this, I’m giving it a four out of five difficulty rating.
