(Fantastic!  I think there was a fairly high level of difficulty with today’s Jumble.  I struggled to get “urchin”, and as it turns out, the last time we had this clue word it was with the exact same jumbling.  Some of you – no doubt – had some trouble in getting both “astray” and “induct”.  And, “system” was no gimme.  It turns out “heaven” is going to be a new addition to the ralis95 clue word database.  The answer letter layout was done masterfully.  I had to think a bit before coming up with the answer.  Fun pun, and a great Jeff Knurek cartoon.  Great Sunday Jumble, Hoyt and Knurek!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
