Flash of light (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

glint

gleam

'flash of light' is the definition.
(gleam means a sparkling light)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for gleam that I've seen before include "Coruscate" , "Flash of light" , "Faint light; (quality) shine (in eyes)" , "Brightness" , "Moderate glow" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, the King Feature Syndicate and the Newsday.
