SNAPT = PANTS, PUGER = PURGE, HABNIS = BANISH, PEDCIT = DEPICT — Giving us: ASPENDP
Clue/Question: After the rope broke, he . . .
Answer: SNAPPED
(Not bad . . . for a Monday, I guess. Some good clue word jumbling. We even had a new clue word, in “pants”. ralis95 will be sure to update the clue word database. Maybe the rope was about to break anyway! Nothing lasts forever. Everything is constantly in a transitory state. Like the Tibetan sand mandalas. Exquisite, yet temporary. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Odd, that’s not the puzzle that appeared in the Los Angeles Times on 2/11/13. They recycled the 2/4/13 puzzle on 2/11!
Sorry to hear that, Karen. Hopefully, the LA Times won’t cheat you again! (Maybe Hoyt knows what happened???)

No clue what happened. Very odd. The newspaper must have messed up.
