Crossword Genius

Recover, in some sort of miracle (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reclaim

'recover' is the definition.
(I know that recover can be written as reclaim)

'some sort of miracle' is the wordplay.
'some sort of' indicates anagramming the letters.
'miracle' anagrammed gives 'RECLAIM'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for reclaim that I've seen before include "Win back" , "Convert" , "Salvage" , "'Make useful again, land say (7)'" , "Bring under cultivation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
