The phrase "clue of" is not a common or grammatically correct phrase in English
Instead, we would use "clue to" or "clue about" to indicate the thing or information that helps solve a problem or mystery. For example: - The detective found a clue to the murder in the victim's diary. - The missing puzzle piece was a clue about how to solve the riddle. - The strange markings on the wall were a clue to the secret code. Using "clue of" in these examples would sound awkward and incorrect. However, we can use "clue of" in a different way to mean "a sign or indication of". For example: - The dark circles under her eyes were a clue of her exhaustion. - The broken window was a clue of a possible break-in.
