Unscramble PEASAYSSY: Letters, Definition, and Answer
PEASAYSSY unscrambles to EASY AS "SPY", the 9-letter cartoon caption answer from Jumble Answers Today: October 21, 2026. Repeated letters: A (×2), S (×3), Y (×2).
How to crack PEASAYSSY
Nine letters stay noisy until you read the cartoon. James Bond stealing secret-weapon plans is already pointing at a spy phrase, not a random scramble. Pull EASY first (E, A, S, Y) — GRIPE's E and BASIC's A and S make that chunk obvious. AS takes another A and S next. P, Y are what remain with one S, and they spell "SPY". The quotation marks in the printed answer are doing half the joke for you: pie becomes spy.

What does EASY AS "SPY" mean?
EASY AS "SPY" (pun phrase): a twist on "easy as pie": for a spy like Bond, the heist was that simple. Example: “For a trained agent, cracking the lock was easy as "spy."”
Similar: easy as pie, a cinch, no sweat, piece of cake.
Did you know? "Easy as pie" has meant effortless in American English since the late nineteenth century; today's caption swaps pie for spy to fit the Bond cartoon.
The everyday phrase behind EASY AS "SPY"
Away from the cartoon, easy as pie means something done with little effort ("The install was easy as pie"). Speakers also say a piece of cake, a cinch and no sweat for the same idea. Easy as ABC and easy does it sit nearby but stress simplicity or caution rather than speed. There is no clean single-word opposite; hard going or an uphill climb is how people push back. Today's caption only swaps the last word — pie for spy — so the everyday phrase behind the pun stays the three-word shape you already know.
How EASY AS "SPY" fits the puzzle
The punchline works twice. Stealing plans is spy work, so "spy" is literal, and "easy as spy" twists the idiom easy as pie. The Bond setup tells you the answer ends on a spy word well before the letter bank is sorted.
The circled letters were pulled from GRIPE, BASIC, LAWYER and GLOSSY.
