CARTOON ANSWER:

LOOKED UP TO HIM
WELCOME BACK
PUZZLE PLAYERS!

🏊‍♂️ HIGH AND MIGHTY

Today’s cartoon takes us poolside where one diver is already making waves before he even hits the water. The coach is talking him up, saying he’s one of the best he’s ever seen. The swimmer next to him, fresh from his dive, is taking it all in, hoping to get to that level someday. Up on the platform, the diver has the whole place frozen with his hands in the air, ready to go. When a guy can turn heads without even leaving the board, it’s pretty obvious who everyone’s eyes are on.

➤ THE COACH

The coach is bald with a goatee, wearing a V-neck shirt with a small logo on the left chest. He’s turned slightly, pointing upward as he talks about the diver.

➤ THE SWIMMER

The swimmer has a bead of water on his face, with wet hair slicked down from his dive. A towel is wrapped around his neck and another around his waist as he looks up toward the platform.

➤ THE HIGH DIVER

The diver stands on the top level with both hands raised straight overhead, holding his position before the jump. Below him on a lower level, a woman shades her eyes while watching.

➤ THE BACKGROUND

The pool below shows bubbles from a recent dive. Off to the side, two judges sit at a table with score sheets in front of them, ready to mark the next jump.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was a 13-letter anagram that solved into a 6 + 2 + 2 + 3 layout. One look at the cartoon and letter layout, and the answer instantly came to mind before my pen hit the paper. That’s two days in a row for anyone keeping score at home. If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our nudges were everyone looking up at the next diver and the way he’s being talked about both in and out of the water.

💧 Click-To-Reveal Facts*: High Diving

➤ How high are professional high diving platforms?
Olympic-style platforms top out at 27 meters (89 feet) for men and 20 meters (66 feet) for women. Lower levels like 10 meters are used in standard diving, but high diving takes it up to roughly a 9-story drop.
SOURCE
➤ How fast do divers hit the water from those heights?
From the top platforms, divers can reach speeds of up to 60 mph (96 km/h) before impact. That kind of speed means even a slight mistake in form can make the entry extremely dangerous.
SOURCE
➤ How deep does the water need to be to handle that impact?
High diving pools are required to be at least 5 meters (16.4 feet) deep. That depth helps absorb the force of entry and reduces the risk of injury when divers hit the water at high speed.
