ANGELIC7 Lettersadj.
Good possibility
A·N·G·E·L·I·C

Resembling or characteristic of an angel, especially in being beautiful, innocent, or kind.

Editorially reviewed.

Why it fits: Connects "heavenly" to angels — beings associated with heaven. Fits when the clue implies purity, beauty, or innocence rather than astronomical phenomena.
Overly specific if the clue points to sky/cosmos meaning. Also won't fit if the crossing pattern excludes common letters like A, N, G.
Related: seraphic, cherubic, saintly, beatific

Good possibility
C·E·L·E·S·T·I·A·L

Positioned in or relating to the sky, or supremely good.

Editorially reviewed.

Why it fits: Directly means "of the heavens" or "relating to the sky." The most literal synonym when the clue asks for something celestial or astronomical.
Too long if the grid only allows 6–7 letters. Less appropriate when the clue implies moral perfection rather than astronomy.
Related: stellar, cosmic, astral, empyreal

DIVINE6 Lettersadj.
Good possibility
D·I·V·I·N·E

Of, from, or like God or a god; heavenly.

Editorially reviewed.

Why it fits: Captures the theological sense of "heavenly" — of or relating to God. Also used informally to mean delightful or wonderful.
Ambiguous because "divine" can also mean "to discover by intuition" (verb). Check crossing letters to rule out the verb sense.
Related: godly, sacred, holy, blessed

Editorially reviewed.

Why it fits: Captures the "wonderfully good" sense of heavenly. Works when the clue implies awe-inspiring quality rather than literal celestial location.
More about aesthetic or emotional grandeur than actual heaven. Also has a chemistry meaning (solid to gas) which could create ambiguity.
