On a Roll
What it means
In the middle of a run of success that feels as though it will simply continue.
Where it comes from
The roll is dice, and the run of good throws that gamblers treat as a property of the moment. Dice have no memory, which is the part the phrase quietly leaves out.
The puzzle it came from
On a Roll was the answer to the Phrasicle of July 16, 2025. The clue read ____ a ____, and the words came out of a grid where every neighbouring pair makes a two-word phrase.
