🍋 THE WHEEL DEAL

Today’s cartoon rolls us into a neighborhood where two kids decided the old-fashioned lemonade stand needed an upgrade. Instead of waiting around behind a table hoping thirsty people wander by, they loaded everything into a wagon and took the drinks directly to the customers. With wheels under their operation and nonstop movement from street to street, these young entrepreneurs have figured out success was never going to come from staying in one place.

➤ THE LEMONADE CART

The girl riding in the wagon is wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, with her hair tied into two side ponytails. Inside the cart are a large pitcher and several stacked cups, while a sign taped to the side shows the word “LEMONADE” above a drawing of a lemon.

➤ ON THE MOVE

The second girl is sprinting ahead with a lemonade sign raised in her right hand after spotting someone she thinks might want a drink. She’s wearing a T-shirt, shorts, sneakers, and a ponytail flowing behind her as she runs.

➤ THE NEIGHBORHOOD

The wagon is on a raised sidewalk with strips of grass visible beside it, giving the scene the look of a neighborhood street corner. Several homes and trees can be seen in the distance.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was a 10-letter anagram that solved into a 5 + 5 layout. Our hump day puzzle barely slowed me down once all the clue words were in place and the layout in view. STAND jumped out first, mostly because the cartoon centered around lemonade and selling drinks, with STILL easy to peel away from the remaining letters for a speedy finish. If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our nudges were the girl momentarily STANDing STILL inside the cart while she prepared to hop out, while the other girl dashed ahead and clearly couldn’t STAND STILL long enough to let another sale pass her by.

🍹 Click-To-Reveal Facts*: About Lemons

➤ How much juice does the average lemon actually contain?
Most standard lemons produce around 2 to 3 tablespoons of juice, which means it usually takes about 4 to 5 lemons to fill a full cup.
SOURCE
➤ How many lemons can a single tree grow in one year?
A healthy mature lemon tree can produce roughly 500 to 600 lemons annually. Using the average juice yield, that works out to well over 15 gallons of lemon juice from one productive tree in a strong growing season.
SOURCE
➤ How long have lemons been around?
Lemons have been cultivated for more than 2,000 years, with early origins traced back to parts of Asia before spreading through the Middle East and Europe.
