WELCOME BACK,

PUZZLE PLAYERS!

🍎 WEIGH COOL

Today’s cartoon takes us into a bathroom, where a man is discovering that his new scale does a lot more than simply report a number. Instead of a cold, clinical weigh-in, the device is offering encouragement and compliments every time he steps on it. Judging by the grin on his face, he’s becoming a big fan of the extra motivation. Whether it’s boosting confidence or just boosting egos, this gadget knows exactly what to say.

💎 JUMBLE JEFF’S JEMS

➤ The Man

The man is standing shirtless on the scale with a towel wrapped around his waist. He has medium-length hair, a beard and mustache, glasses, and a smartwatch on his right wrist.

➤ The Woman

The woman is standing barefoot beside him wearing glasses, a short-sleeved T-shirt, and loose-fitting pants.

➤ The Scale & Background

The scene takes place in a bathroom with a bathtub visible in the background. The scale itself has been given a face, with the needle doubling as the nose.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was a 14-letter anagram that solved into a 5 + 4 + 5 layout. Today’s Sunday offering was a piece of cake. Usually the length on a Sunday can be the sticking point, but this one tallied up quickly. A quick read of the cartoon sentence and the word SCALE gave me “WEIGH” right off the bat. From there, it was just the rest of the answer that needed filling in. With the clue words solved, WITH WORDS was no trouble after reading her dialogue about the scale being flirty. If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our nudges were the scale managing to “WEIGH” WITH WORDS, along with its encouraging and perhaps slightly flirty response. It definitely had a ”WEIGH” WITH WORDS.
