With repetition of first part, contrive changes to sentence again (9)
I believe the answer is:
reconvict
'with repetition of first part contrive changes to sentence' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'again' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'again' could be 're' (prefix meaning 'again') and 're' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'convict' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
