WELCOME BACK,

PUZZLE PLAYERS!

🧵 SEW LONG

Today’s cartoon brings us into a meeting at a fashion magazine, where a longtime designer announces her plans to retire. She seems confident about leaving her work in capable hands, and her colleagues are clearly sorry to see her go. After years in the fashion business, she’s ready to step away while still at the top of her game. And when it comes to making her grand exit, she certainly knows how to leave a lasting impression.

➤ THE FASHION DESIGNER

Standing at the head of the conference table, the designer wears glasses, an earring in her right ear, and a buttoned top with wide sleeves and a flared hem as she announces her retirement.

➤ THE TWO COLLEAGUES

The woman on the left wears a headband and dangling earring, with two pages from POSE magazine in front of her. Across the table, her colleague wears a buttoned top, with two more pages of layouts and text before her.

➤ FASHION ON DISPLAY

Two framed fashion illustrations hang on the wall. The left features a model above the POSE magazine title, while the right shows another model wearing fashionable attire and heels.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was a 12-letter anagram that solved into a 2 + 3 + 2 + 5 layout. Saturday’s solve was on the lengthier side, but the way the cartoon sentence was worded made this one an instant solve for me. Seeing that our designer was retiring while still at the top of her game brought GO OUT IN STYLE instantly to mind. With all four clue words solved, the letters confirmed my hunch to button this one up in a flash.

If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our nudges were the designer retiring while still highly successful, giving us the familiar expression GO OUT IN STYLE, while the fashion magazine setting and her trendy attire added a second layer of wordplay for a fitting finish.

🌔 That’s A Wrap!

👀 WORD YOU LOOK AT THAT

(Click phrase to reveal its origin)

GLAMOUR

Meaning: An enchanting quality of beauty, elegance, or charm, often associated with fashion, luxury, and sophistication.

So, where did it come from?
Believe it or not, glamour and grammar are related! The word emerged in Scotland in the early 1700s, when it referred to a magical spell or enchantment. It developed from an older form of grammar associated with mysterious learning and witchcraft. Scottish author Sir Walter Scott helped popularize the word in the early 1800s, using it to describe a magical power that could make ordinary things appear extraordinary.

By the mid-1800s, glamour was beginning to lose its supernatural meaning and take on a more familiar one: captivating beauty and irresistible charm. With the rise of Hollywood and its dazzling movie stars in the 20th century, the word became closely associated with elegance, luxury, and high fashion. From witchcraft to the runway, glamour has certainly worked its magic!
