HEWIG  =  WEIGH,  ETTIL  =  TITLE,  HARMIO  =  MOHAIR,  REDOWP  =  POWDER —   Giving us:  WEHTITMOHWDR

Clue/Question:  When the class did the puzzle, the teacher had a . . .

Answer:  WORD WITH THEM

(Very nice.  I think we’ve seen “mohair” before, but with a different scrambling.  12 letters might seem a little daunting to some, but when you see that the answer is 3 words, and there’s only 3 vowels, it wasn’t as hard as I thought it might be.  I always like to see them work the jumble into the cartoon, in one form or another.  I had a dream where the Jets were preparing for the Ravens.  Could my smashed up left ankle have made yer Uncle clairvoyant?  Hmmm!  The Ravens beating the Steelers wouldn’t be a huge upset.  But, can a banged up Jets beat Brady & Co., in Foxboro???  That’s the tougher sell to my dream.  Enjoy the games, this weekend.  Sorry, I had no NFC dreams!  Although, personally, I do like Atlanta over The Pack!  And strangely enough, I’d like to see the Seahawks go as far as possible.  They’re a great underdog story, and they could use some redemption for the shoddy officiating of Super Bowl XL.  And, I was rooting for the Steelers!  Do good, friends.)   — YUR
