When nothing goes right
Answer:
OFFDAY
Hint:
Think of a phrase for a day when your performance is unusually poor, often used in sports or work contexts.
Explanation:
"When nothing goes right" hints at a day where everything feels wrong or out of sync—an "off day." The answer plays on the literal meaning of "off" (not functioning well) combined with "day," making it a straightforward phrase for a bad or unproductive day. No tricky wordplay here, just a common expression turned into a single word for the crossword.
