WELCOME BACK,

PUZZLE PLAYERS!

☕ MORNING MAGIC

Today’s cartoon shows us a quiet morning at home, where one person is having a hard time getting out of bed while the other is already up making a fresh pot of coffee. As the aroma begins drifting through the house, he offers to bring her a cup, and her sleepy reluctance quickly starts to fade. Even the dog hasn’t found the motivation to get moving just yet, but the promise of that first sip is becoming harder to resist. Sometimes the best wake-up call isn’t an alarm clock.

➤ NOT QUITE A MORNING PERSON

The woman is still tucked into bed wearing a sleeveless V-neck nightgown with lace trim. She’s propping herself up with her left hand, her pillow still shows the indentation from sleeping, her hair is tousled, and the sleepy look in her eyes says she’s not fully awake yet. The covers are pulled up to her waist, with her legs still beneath them, while the dog sleeps peacefully just to her left.

➤ THE COFFEE DELIVERY SERVICE

In the adjacent room, the man already has the coffee brewing. He’s holding the glass carafe in his right hand and a coffee mug in his left as he offers to bring her a fresh cup. The coffee maker sits on the countertop, with steam rising from the appliance.

➤ HOME SWEET AWAKE

The scene shows a simple bedroom connected to the nearby kitchen. A headboard is visible behind the bed, while the open doorway gives us a glimpse into the adjacent room where the coffee is being prepared.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was an 11-letter anagram that solved into a 6 + 3 + 2 layout. Our Friday solve felt like a gimme. One look at the cartoon and a quick read of the dialogue brought PERKED HER UP instantly to mind. RERUN was the only speed bump for me today. Once I locked onto the RE- prefix, everything fell neatly into place to seal the deal. If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our biggest nudges were the smell of the fresh coffee that PERKED HER UP, while the visual of her sitting up in bed with her left hand propping herself up, along with her saying, “I’ll be right there,” after he offered to bring her a cup, showed the coffee aroma was already doing the trick, confirming the answer, PERKED HER UP.
