Crossword Genius

Popular range, first seen in another time (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

again

'another time' is the definition.
('again' can be a synonym of 'another time')

'popular range first seen' is the wordplay.
'popular' becomes 'in'.
'range' becomes 'aga' (I've seen this before**).
'first seen' says to put letters next to each other.
'in' put after 'aga' is 'AGAIN'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for again that I've seen before include "return" , "Moreover - a second time" , "On the other hand" , "One more time, encore" , "Anew" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
