CARTOON ANSWER:

EGG THEM ON

WELCOME BACK,

PUZZLE PLAYERS!

🐔 Hen Couragement

Today’s cartoon takes us inside a hen house where a hopeful farmer is doing everything she can to inspire her flock to lay eggs. Basket in hand, she encourages the hens to get cracking with a pep talk, hoping they’ll come through with something to show before the day is over. While a couple of the birds seem ready for the challenge, another looks a little less convinced by the motivational speech. When it comes to laying eggs, even the best pep talk can’t rush Mother Nature.

➤ THE FARMER

The farmer is wearing denim overalls with a single front bib pocket and a short sleeved shirt. Her hair is tied back in a ponytail, and she carries a basket in her right hand while giving the hens some encouragement.

➤ GOLD-HEN OPPORTUNITY

Three hens are shown inside the nesting boxes. The upper hen stares straight ahead, appearing to avoid eye contact. The hen directly below seems to be listening to the farmer, while the third hen lowers her head toward the straw as if checking whether she has laid an egg yet.

➤ INSIDE THE HEN HOUSE

The coop features two nesting levels filled with straw bedding. Through the open doorway, a grassy yard is visible with two more chickens outside, along with a fence and a single cloud in the distance.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was a 9-letter anagram that solved into a 3 + 4 + 2 layout. Our first puzzle of the workweek didn’t stay scrambled for long. With the cartoon dialogue encouraging the hens to lay eggs, while never actually saying the word EGG, it felt like it had to be hiding in the answer somewhere. Once all four clue words were cracked, the double Gs let me know my hunch was correct, and with EGG out of the way, THEM and ON brought this one to a close. If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our biggest nudges were the farmer asking for a dozen, pointing to EGG, and the encouraging speech directed at the hens. Put them together, and you get EGG THEM ON.
