sudden clarity
Flash of understanding
Sudden clarity is a moment when confusion or uncertainty gives way to understanding all at once.
The phrase describes that flash of insight when something finally makes sense: I had a moment of sudden clarity and realized I'd been approaching the problem wrong.
It suggests the shift is immediate rather than gradual—fog lifting to reveal what was there all along.
