Clue/Question: The new laundromat in the Sahara turned out to be a . . .
Answer: DRY CLEANER
(Not bad! The first two clue words were pretty simple. And, I know we’ve seen “anyone” before, but with different scrambling. And, “rodent” shouldn’t have been too hard to get, but it was. At least for me it was! I had to back into it. Fortunately, the answer wasn’t very hard. But, there was no give away in the layout of the answer letters. Today’s Jumble gave me a kind of “Ishtar” feeling. A movie that I – surprisingly? – never saw! How many people would even admit to seeing that bomb? Okay, kids.

Rodent took me forever, and I actually had to back into it after solving the Question.
It’s an interesting word. In addition all to the common letters it contains, there were lots of popular letter-combination possibilities – “er,” “ed,” “end,” “tr,” “dr,” etc., making it more difficult.
Got CREEK! Got BLOCK! My mind has been distracted lately, so I cheated a little on RODENT and completely (by mistake) on ANYONE! I then forgot to finish the puzzle and saw the answer here! DRY CLEANER! Good puzzle with challenges, but I’m tired today! Ishtar! Never saw it! Never will!
Sorry, Warren. Sorry, Dustin. We will not be adding to your royalties.
I can never seem to find the right day that I need help solving the jumble….just exactly how do I do that? Thanks, Bridget
