🏗️ FAMILY TIES

Today’s cartoon takes us to Hoover Dam, where a couple of visitors are learning about one of America’s greatest engineering achievements. As the tour guide shares fascinating facts about the landmark, one visitor proudly shares that her grandfather helped build it, while another remembers visiting as a child. Standing before a structure that has meant something different to so many people, it’s easy to see why it remains such an unforgettable destination. Some accomplishments stand the test of time and continue inspiring people for years to come.

➤ THE TOUR BOSS

The tour guide is wearing a wide-brimmed cowboy-style hat, a short-sleeved collared shirt, and cargo shorts with a large side pocket. He gestures with both hands as he shares facts about Hoover Dam with the visitors.

➤ THE VISITORS

The woman is wearing a visor, square-framed glasses, and a short-sleeved V-neck shirt. The man wears a safari-style hat with a chin strap, and a short-sleeved collared shirt.

➤ POWER IN THE BACKGROUND

Hoover Dam stretches across the canyon behind the group, with its curved concrete face and observation railing clearly visible. Power lines run across the scene, while rocky canyon walls rise behind America’s hydroelectric landmark.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was a 11-letter anagram that solved into a single 11-letter layout. Our Hump Day puzzle looked like it might be smooth sailing, but it ended up giving me a sinking feeling instead. After looking at the cartoon and reading the sentence, I wasn’t quite sure where it was headed, so I knew the clue words would have to get the job done. With all four solved, I figured the suffix -ING would make up the ending of the solution. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make anything work from the remaining letters, so it was back to square one. Looking at the cartoon again, I noticed everyone was talking about Hoover Dam during different periods of life. One visitor remembered coming as a child, another shared that a grandfather helped build it, while the guide explained that it still provides electricity decades later. Suddenly GENERATIONS jumped off the page, and everything clicked into place. If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our nudges were the references to a grandfather, childhood memories, and a landmark that has continued serving people for decades. Those clues pointed toward GENERATIONS, while the dam’s lasting construction reinforced the answer’s second meaning.

🧱 Click-To-Reveal Facts*: About Hoover Dam

➤ How tall is Hoover Dam?
Hoover Dam stands 726 feet (221 meters) tall, about the height of a 60-story building. When it was completed in 1935, it was the tallest dam in the world.
SOURCE
➤ How much concrete went into Hoover Dam?
More than 3.25 million cubic yards of concrete were used to build Hoover Dam—enough concrete to build a two-lane highway from San Francisco to New York City.
SOURCE
➤ How many homes receive electricity from Hoover Dam?
Hoover Dam produces enough hydroelectric power to serve well over one million people across parts of Nevada, Arizona, and California, depending on water levels and demand.
SOURCE
➤ Why wasn’t Hoover Dam poured all at once?
If the dam had been poured as one massive block, the concrete would have taken well over 100 years to cool completely. Engineers instead poured it in interlocking blocks with cooling pipes running through them.
SOURCE
➤ How many people helped build Hoover Dam?
More than 21,000 workers helped build Hoover Dam between 1931 and 1936, making it one of the largest public works projects of its time.
