Wild encore drowns second encore (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
once more
'encore' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'wild encore drowns second' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'drowns' is an insertion indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'second' becomes 'mo' (both are short periods of time).
'encore' anagrammed gives 'oncere'.
'oncere' enclosing 'mo' is 'ONCE MORE'.
(Another definition for once more that I've seen is " Again".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
