Déjà Two
Today’s cartoon brings us to London on a drizzly afternoon, where a couple has paused on Westminster Bridge just as Big Ben announces the hour. The clock face is set at noon, with action lines showing the famous chime echoing across the Thames. She notes they caught a good moment, while he adds that it sounds on the quarter hour as well. Now with 14 minutes and counting, they wouldn’t have long to wait before Big Ben delivered an encore.

➤ ON THE SPOT — The couple has chosen Westminster Bridge to take in the moment.
➤ RAIN CHECK — She’s bundled in a full-length rain jacket that drops to her knees, hood up and tied at the waist. He’s wearing a rain jacket as well, choosing a bucket hat instead of pulling the hood up.
➤ PICTURE PERFECT — In his hands, you can spot Big Ben silhouetted on his phone screen. The clock face of the tower is locked at twelve o’clock, and at the base you can make out a small group of tourists. Behind the tower sits the Palace of Westminster.
🧩 FINAL SOLVE
The final answer was an anagram consisting of 16 letters that solved into a 4 + 3 + 4 + 5 layout. At first glance, the letter count felt like it might take some time to sort through, but the cartoon kept everything ticking in the right direction. Between the action lines around the bell, the clock face locked at noon, and the reminder that it chimes every fifteen minutes, TIME didn’t take long to spot. Seeing it show up twice was the turning point, and once those letters were crossed out, the rest of the phrase came into focus right on cue.
