Luck of the Draw, Part Three

◆◆ · By rickybillingsgate · Published 2022-01-29T00:29:17.960Z

Third in a series. Decided to construct another themeless puzzle around a random entry. Visited RandomWordGenerator.com, selected "phrase," and the central span was the first result. At fifteen letters, I had no choice but to run with it.
