clicked
Suddenly understood it
Clicked is the past tense of click—a short, sharp sound like a latch closing or fingers snapping.
A door clicked shut, a camera clicked.
In computing, clicking means pressing a mouse button or tapping a touchscreen: I clicked the link but nothing happened.
Figuratively, when something clicks, it suddenly makes sense or works smoothly: After weeks of practice, it finally clicked.
When people click, they connect instantly: We clicked from the moment we met.
