Solution for 30 May cryptic crossword clue




I’m clear again in wondrous event (7)
Solution – miracle

This is an anagram clue. (See sidebar under the list of popular posts for links to explanations of various types of clue).  But the indicator or hint that an anagram is involved is an unusual one that could easily be missed.  It is “again in”. 

The definition for the solution is “wondrous event” – and “miracle” is a very good match for that.  So when you look at the first part of the clue and see “I’m clear” you find the same letters as are in “miracle” jumbled up.
