🧠 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.
