Time singer's back after voice trouble occasionally? (7)
I believe the answer is:
october
'time' is the definition.
(time of year)
'singer's back after voice trouble occasionally?' is the wordplay.
'back' suggests the final letters.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'occasionally?' indicates alternate letters (I've seen 'occasionally' mean this).
The final letter of 'singer' is 'r'.
'voice'+'trouble'='voicetrouble'
The alternating letters of 'voicetrouble' are 'octobe'.
'r' after 'octobe' is 'OCTOBER'.
(Other definitions for october that I've seen before include "thirty-one days" , "Russian Revolution month" , "To be orc (anag)" , "Pre-Caesarean calendar's eighth month" , "Autumn month" .)
