WELCOME BACK,

PUZZLE PLAYERS!

🕰️ BIG GRINS

Today’s cartoon takes us to London, where a group of tourists has gathered with their cameras ready as the famous clock begins to chime. One visitor is thrilled to finally see the landmark she has dreamed about visiting, while another calls out the time as her partner captures the long-awaited moment. With the towering clock drawing every eye and bringing the crowd to a standstill, it is easy to see why this stop sits high on so many people’s travel lists.

➤ EVERY SECOND COUNTS

A crowd has gathered on a footbridge with cameras and phones held sideways in landscape mode, all focused on the famous clock tower as it strikes 3:00. Three action lines beside the bell suggest three chimes echoing, while a blanket of clouds gives the scene that classic overcast English backdrop.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was a 17-letter anagram that solved into a 3 + 4 + 10 layout. Our Sunday stumper took a little extra effort to get through. If the answer didn’t come to you instantly, it took some patience to sift through all those letters to find a starting point. With nothing jumping out from the cartoon or the dialogue, it was up to the clue words to save the day. TIME was instantly visible with the M sticking out like a sore thumb. Once those letters were removed, ATTRACTION came next after rereading the woman’s comment about finally crossing it off her bucket list. That left BIG as a simple three-letter finish to bring our weekend solves to a close. If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our biggest nudges were the dialogue about finally seeing Big Ben because it was on her bucket list, along with the towering clock itself. It’s BIG, it tells TIME, and it’s one of London’s most famous tourist ATTRACTIONS.
