(What? No Flipper?? No Gilligan??? LOL! I kid! I’m a kidder! Actually, I loved the cartoon. Decent pun. No new clue words, but some interesting jumblings. I really liked “turnip”. But, none of them tripped me up. Smart answer letter layout. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Alien-ated! I loved it. Took a minute, but I loved it! What a hoot. Always fun.
I zipped through the clue words, but the solution stopped me dead in my tracks. Cheated! Alien? I never would have guessed that. Dr. Spock was an alien, I guess. A teacher friend of mine thought he was Dr. Spock.I taught next to him for 10 years…interesting to say the least. He had Tribbles. Kids loved it.
The words were easy to unravel, but the answer was terrible. I just hate it when they split a jumble answer like that. I knew one of those had to be a real word, but just couldn’t get it.
