📈 UPWARD TREND
Today’s cartoon drops us into a meeting where things are moving fast and nobody is pretending otherwise. Everyone is gathered around a conference table with laptops open and charts in hand, while the boss lays it out plain that their success is starting to outpace the size of the staff. One employee is already posting job listings, while another points out that the numbers just keep trending up. With the skyline stretching up behind them and momentum clearly on their side, keeping pace is going to take a few more people coming on board.
🔎 Jumble Jeff’s Jems
➤ AROUND THE TABLE
Five people are in the room, with four seated at the conference table and one woman standing and leading the meeting. She’s wearing glasses, an earring in her right ear, and a collared blouse with two buttons visible.
➤ THE NUMBERS CREW
The two on the right are handling the dialogue. One has a laptop open with a pineapple logo, while the man next to her is holding a chart with a clear upward trend. Across from them, another man is holding a similar chart, while the woman beside him watches closely with her hands out of view.
➤ THE VIEW BEHIND IT ALL
The room is surrounded by large floor-to-ceiling windows showing a city skyline that stretches out to the water. Off in the distance, Jumble Jeff’s sailboat is tipping and heading straight into the drink.
🧠 FINAL SOLVE
The final answer was an 11-letter anagram that solved into a “4” + 2 + “4” layout. The fact that we had two words in quotes today had me stressing a bit at first, but noticing that they were the same length made it feel like we were probably looking at a repeating answer. With the company growing and needing more people to help, HIRE was the obvious choice. With both of those locked in, AND was clearly visible in the remainder to seal the deal. If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our nudges were all the talk about the business growing, the office setting, and the charts trending up, all pointing toward the need for more people.

🛒 Daily Drops*
➤ Domino’s “Slice Sauce” Pizza Dip — Domino’s is finally adding a dedicated dip, and it’s built exactly how you’d expect — a creamy, savory sauce with a strong Parmesan and garlic base, finished with a slight tang so it cuts through the cheese instead of getting lost in it. It’s meant for crust dunking, but it’s the kind of sauce that upgrades the whole slice. Right now, they’re including it free with Handmade Pan or Stuffed Crust orders through June 14. SOURCE
➤ Krispy Kreme “Malcolm in the Middle” Mix Pack — This one’s built around volume and nostalgia. The box comes loaded with 10 Original Glazed donuts, plus two layers of donut dots — one classic glazed and one covered in sprinkles — stacked together in a themed package tied to the show’s return. No new flavors here, just a bigger, more fun way to grab a mix all at once. It’s only running April 10 through April 12. SOURCE
➤ Crush “Back to the 90s” Tropical Punch Soda — Crush is bringing back that bright, over-the-top fruit punch feel with a new tropical blend that looks like it’s built around orange and pineapple, with a possible hint of guava. The whole thing is wrapped in a bold, retro design that leans into that classic ‘90s soda look. It’s scheduled to drop July 13, 2026. SOURCE
➤ Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer Brats — This is exactly what it sounds like — pork bratwurst infused with PBR, giving it a light, malty flavor that comes through without overpowering the meat. It’s built for grilling season and pairs right with the usual backyard setup. They’re also rolling out Jalapeño & Cheddar and Chipotle & Cheddar versions at the same time, hitting stores like Walmart, Kroger, and Publix. SOURCE
➤ Jell-O Birthday Cake Pudding — This one leans all the way into that birthday cake flavor — a smooth, sweet vanilla-style pudding paired with a separate topping of cookie crumbles and sprinkles you add yourself. It’s basically built to taste like frosting and cake in one spoonful. It’s starting to show up now, but full availability is still rolling out. SOURCE
➤ IHOP New House Coffee Blend — IHOP is replacing its longtime coffee with a new medium roast blend that has a stronger body, with brown sugar notes and a slightly nutty finish that hold up better once cream and sugar are added. They also upgraded how it’s brewed behind the scenes, but pricing and refills stay the same. SOURCE
