“Sibling was easy to find, then I just look at all the remaining letters and easily solve the puzzle. No biggie!

dan green's comment hit it on the head. I've grown to despise puns in crossword puzzles and Jumble and especially long word puns. Seven letters is a timeout length.

After solving sibling, rivalry immediately came to mind as the second part of the solution. Noting the quotes in the part, revelry popped into my head. As you Carol, I enjoy completing the puzzle everyday.

I usually get these but revelry?

Very good, but can't believe only 60% had trouble.
Difficulty was in having both a low-frequency word (sibling) and
a reach-for-it pun. Not sure I 'EVER would have gotten it. This is why
it's nice to have same-day answers. Too easy to brood over this until the
next morning...

I only check the answers when I cant figure it out, tough one today, I thought, anyway.

Now that I know today's answer, I think the challenge & pun was good!
... I just didn't play enough with the possibilities.
I love working on these puzzles every morning, and I appreciate the wit & wordplay -
thank you!
