Ocean waves increase a further time (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
once again
'ocean waves increase a further time' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'ocean waves increase' is the wordplay.
'waves' is an anagram indicator.
'increase' becomes 'gain' (gain is a kind of increase).
'ocean' with letters rearranged gives 'oncea'.
'oncea'+'gain'='ONCE AGAIN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for once again that I've seen is " encore".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
