HANDLED
Today’s cartoon drops us onto the ice as a confident curling team sizes up the situation and likes what they see. One voice calls out that they have got this, another pushes for a shutout, and a third points out that no losses are on the board just yet. With brooms flying, stones sliding, and the scoreboard telling a lopsided story, this feels less like a contest and more about making sure nothing gets left behind.

➤ ON THE ICE
The scoreboard reads 20 to nothing as three Olympic curlers work the stone down the sheet. Two sweep hard out front, action lines flying as the granite glides exactly where it’s meant to go, while a third teammate hangs back offering support and calling the shot. In the background, Olympic rings sit proudly on a banner above the ice.
🧠 FINAL SOLVE
The final solve was an anagram consisting of 10 letters that would settle into a 5 + 5 layout. Going into the puzzle, CLEAN SWEEP was already on my brain after one look at the cartoon, and to my surprise, it ended up being the answer. If this one gave you any pause, the heavy action lines around the brooms and the wildly lopsided score were our biggest nudges.

💬 SAY WHAT?
“If I were smart, I could figure out curling. If I were even smarter, I could figure out why people would actually watch other people doing it. I have tried. I can’t. I can’t even figure out the object of the game. Is it like darts? I just don’t get it.” — Bob Schieffer

🥄 VIRAL RECIPE
Italian Cherry Almond Cookies
These cookies hit that rare sweet spot where crisp edges meet a soft, chewy center. The almond flavor comes through without overpowering, the cherries add just enough pop, and the powdered sugar finish gives them that classic bakery look. They feel old-world traditional but still manage to steal attention the moment they hit the table.
