flash of insight
Moment of clarity
A flash of insight is a sudden moment of understanding or clarity, when a solution or realization arrives all at once rather than through gradual reasoning.
The phrase captures the experience of mental illumination—something clicks into place: I had a flash of insight and suddenly knew how to fix it.
Also called an epiphany or aha moment.
