Jumble Spoiler – 02/17/12

Weak end. #chalkmug (Photo credit: Austin Kleon)

Visual Description:  Wiped out office workers.

FWULA  =  AWFUL,  SKNUT  =  STUNK,  CADEEF  =  DEFACE,  SEMRUE  =  RESUME   —   Giving us:  WNKDAEE

Clue/Question:  Getting the flu on a Friday makes for this.

Answer:  A “WEAK–END“

(Not bad.  The answer was pretty simple, but a couple of the clue words are new, in “stunk” and “resume”.  I didn’t quite have to back into “resume”, but it was close.  All the clue words AND the answer letter layout were jumbled well.  I guess if this is a stomach flu then this answer might have a double meaning, huh?!?!  Do good and be well, friends. )   —   YUR
