Visual Description: Young love in bloom.
PYEOX = EPOXY, ELTFE = FLEET, DNUNEO = UNDONE, KASYNE = SNEAKY — Giving us: EPOLETNDNA
Clue/Question: Head over heels in love, the nurseryman did this.
Answer: PLANTED ONE
(I like it! I like it! A great slang phrase for: kissing works very well with the nursery scenario. Well scrambled clue words. As Richard might say: some were no doubt stuck on “epoxy”, KASYNE was very “sneaky”, some were a sea trying to get “fleet”, and some were “undone” by DNUNEO. The answer letter layout gave nothing away. So the entire puzzle gets high marks all around. Looks like this might be a send-up to Little Shop of Horrors, with our lovers, Seymour and Audrey. And, right in the front row of potted plants, it looks like a very young Audrey II is hoping to soon start her reign of terror! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

I agree! What a great puzzle! EPOXY, UNDONE and SNEAKY are all new words, well scrambled, with the last two very hard to figure out. I actually had the puzzle solved rather quickly from the cartoon, but had to ‘back into’ the six letter words.
ralis,
FLEET was definitely the easiest one to get. My id-sav (idiot savant) abilities allowed me to*see* UNDONE and SNEAKY with relative ease. For some strange reason, I didn’t commit to EPOXY in the beginning. I didn’t have any other words in mind. It either just didn’t sound/look right to me, or I was thinking there MUST be a different spelling.

I was “undone” by “sneaky.”
Epoxy is not a word used in an ordinary way.
I agree…great puzzle! I love the garden/plant theme! I backed into the 6 letter words, also, because of a lack of time! I see that young Audrey in the front row of plants!!!! The other plants in that row look like they are talking to each other, also!

ralis,
Very cool, bro! I never received this particular one before, only the ones with scrambled letters. (first and last letters are always correct) Even with numbers mixed in, I think a good many of us can read this!
Who can’t read the above “comment” by our friend, ralis?

I could read it! I know you asked who can’t, but I thought I’d say how I learned to do this. In grad school for reading specialist masters, we did many of these types of paragraphs. Also, transcendental meditation has helped my mind read more quickly and in strange ways sometimes. Thanks, Ralis!
