Obviously!

Answer:

NODUH

Hint:

Think of a sarcastic response you might say when someone states the blindingly obvious—it sounds like "no" plus a dismissive noise.

Explanation:

"Obviously!" is a sarcastic way to say "No duh," which is slang for "that’s painfully obvious." The answer plays on the phrase by removing the space and turning it into a single word, "NODUH." It’s a casual, slightly cheeky response you’d use when someone states something everyone already knows.
