Ross

I believe the answer is:

nights

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dark times' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'things have altered' is the wordplay.
'things' can be anagrammed to 'NIGHTS'.
Though, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'but' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nights that I've seen before include "Periods after sunset" , "Times after sunset" , "Things (anag.)" , "dark times" , "Times of darkness" .)
