Knowing about April being stormy as spring proceeds? (8)
I believe the answer is:
spirally
'knowing about april being stormy as spring proceeds?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'knowing about april being stormy' is the wordplay.
'knowing' becomes 'sly' (I've seen this in other clues).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'being stormy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'april' is an anagram of 'piral'.
'sly' enclosing 'piral' is 'SPIRALLY'.
Can you help me to learn more?
