➤ THE KING
The king is seated in the throne with a thin, pencil thin mustache, wearing a decorated uniform jacket with shoulder epaulets and tassels, along with several medals pinned to his left chest. He holds a device in his right hand, with a visible cable running from the phone into a USB port on the front of the chair. The back of the device shows multiple circular lenses.
➤ THE THRONE SETUP
The throne has a high back and sits on a raised platform, resembling a dais. The base of the chair features curved, sleigh style supports, and a small foot pillow rests beneath the king’s feet. A screen is mounted to the right side of the chair, positioned within arm’s reach. A power outlet is built into the front of the throne, matching the wall outlets nearby.
➤ THE SERVANT AND DETAILS
The servant stands to the side with neatly parted hair, holding the unplugged cord in his right hand. The wall outlets have a rounded shape that resembles simple faces. Above the throne, a stylized eagle is mounted with its beak pointed to the right.
🧠 FINAL SOLVE
The final answer was an 11-letter anagram that solved into a 4 + 2 + 5 layout. Much to my surprise, what I consider the most difficult puzzle of the week ended up being an instant solve. It took a minute of thinking about it, but it eventually came. The throne gave me SEAT, the plug showed me POWER, making SEAT OF POWER no trouble at all once everything lined up. If this one slowed you down, those same visual clues were, in my opinion, easy to spot today.

🥄 Viral Recipe
This one works because it flips the whole idea of a fruit cake on its head. The strawberries bake down into a soft, jam-like layer while the cake stays light and holds together clean when turned out. You get a bright top, a balanced sweetness, and a dessert that looks finished the second it hits the plate.
