(I like the pun! No new clue words today, but all were jumbled very nicely. I think all the jumblings themselves are new. I didn’t struggle to solve any of them though. The answer letter layout was great. I don’t think it gave anything away. And, hopefully, made some of you think a bit to get the answer. Fun cartoon. That one character with the beard always makes me think of Tom Green, and the one with the mustache makes me think of Will Shortz. That’s about it, guys. Be well and do good.) — YUR
Hi there! Thank you for linking to my blog post ‘Tent with a view’. Happy blogging…and camping! 🙂
OK…been busy getting my mom-in-law moved from three states away to our hometown. So, am way behind and was going to sit quietly and catch up. However, this puzzle !!!! Worked all day on solness, and came up with sonless. So, I put sonless in as my jumbled word. And got no where. So, I got out the 13ths paper, which I worked this morning (papers are out of order), to make sure all the circles were in the correct place since I’ve run into that issue twice!! What — no sonless????? Lesson is the word. OKAY….so, by now you are saying what is she talking about. There are not three Ss in the word. It doesn’t even fit in circles. Quite right. I may have been very confused on the jumble, BUT I did get the answer right! There are days like this! My excuse is exhaustion! 🙂
