Jumble Spoiler – 09/17/12

pocket billiards (pool) table. This image is misnamed – what is shown is not a snooker table! Tirada com o meu nokia 5140 😉 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Visual Description:  Collecting for a proper snooker surface.

DOORE  =  RODEO,  XROPY  =  PROXY,  OUTPOR  =  UPROOT,  WOWILL  =  WILLOW   —   Giving us:  DEPOTILO

Clue/Question:  When it came time to raise money for a new billiards table, they did this.

Answer:  POOLED IT

(No new clue words, today.  I liked the jumblings of “rodeo” and especially “uproot”.  I think anytime you put out a jumbled word, that looks very close to an actual word, it makes it a little more difficult to un-jumble.  Both “willow” and “proxy” seemed fairly obvious.  Very nice answer letter layout, but there wasn’t much of a challenge for today’s answer.  I don’t imagine many of you having a hard time getting this one.  Just easing us into a Monday!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  Today might have been a better day for the Mount Rushmore jumble, as it’s the anniversary of the day Abraham Lincoln’s head was dedicated there.   —   YUR
