PUZZLE PLAYERS!
➗ Greater Good
Today’s cartoon takes us to a classroom where a teacher is helping her students make sense of one of math’s most confusing symbols. After one student asks how he’s supposed to tell the difference between them, she offers a simple way to picture it, explaining that the smaller number always wants to eat the bigger one. Before long, another student starts putting the idea together, realizing which number belongs on which side. Sometimes a simple way to remember something is all you need.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE
The final answer was a 10-letter anagram that solved into a 4 + 2 + 4 layout. Saturday is supposed to be a day off from school, but today’s puzzle treated us to a quick refresher course. I had no idea where the answer was headed based on the cartoon or the sentence wording, so solving the clue words cleared everything up in a snap. Once they were all in place, MORE OR LESS became quite visible, and the answer flowed together naturally. It was a clever solve and a fun way to kick off the weekend. If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our nudges were the greater-than symbol and its opposite in the cartoon sentence, pointing us toward MORE OR LESS, along with the teacher’s explanation that the smaller number always wants to eat the bigger one.
