Furious wife flipped lid (4)
I believe the answer is:
wild
'furious' is the definition.
(I know that furious can be written as wild)
'wife flipped lid' is the wordplay.
'wife' becomes 'w' (abbreviation).
'flipped' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'flips' mean this).
'lid' is an anagram of 'ild'.
'w'+'ild'='WILD'
(Other definitions for wild that I've seen before include "Not domesticated" , "Feral, untamed" , "Unrestrained" , "unruly" , "Undomesticated" .)
