June, July maybe? I’m ready afresh (7)
I believe the answer is:
midyear
'june july' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'maybe? i'm ready afresh' is the wordplay.
'maybe?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'maybe' mean this).
'afresh' indicates an anagram.
'im' anagrammed gives 'mi'.
'ready' is an anagram of 'dyear'.
'mi'+'dyear'='MIDYEAR'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for midyear that I've seen is " June or July?".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
