Clue/Question: The farmer worked in his – – –
Answer: CORN-ER OFFICE
(A stale, hackneyed, predictable . . . what’s the word I’m looking for? . . . pun, if I ever heard one! Just kidding, folks. Y’all know yer old uncle loves the stankiest puns imaginable. Some interesting jumbling today. I got the first three immediately, but I had to think for half a minute on “accuse”. And that’s strange, because usually the double consonant jumbles are pretty obvious to me. Surprisingly, the word “cliff” is not in the ralis95 clue word database. Looks like our buddy has a minor task at hand. The answer letter layout was pretty good. I kind of saw OFFICE though, and then figured out CORN-ER easily enough. Love the cartoon! The rising sun, the rooster crowing on the eave, and the farmer enjoying his morning cup of joe in his Jumble mug, from the comfort of his porch, overlooking his fields! Good stuff. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

This one was tough for me. I saw the numerous double letters (I write them down alphabetically, unlike you) and figured – incorrectly – that it would be two almost-identical words. That’s something we see quite a lot in the Jumbles. Not today.

Thanks for posting “Bad Pun #1” – those were the first words out of my mouth in response to this agrarian JUMBLE !
OMG….corneeeeee!! But a hoot for sure. Didn’t take too long on unjumbling the words. And figured I was looking at corn, and he was sitting in the corner of the porch….nice seat!
All is well because our Unc is safely guiding us!
