Answer: SWING BY LATER
(I like it! A 12 letter answer, decent pun, and there was a bit of a challenge to this one. I bet a good number of you struggled to get this one. All of the jumbling was new, to me. And, we have another new clue word today, in “flange”. Someone roust ralis95! I almost thought the word was fangle, as in newfangled, but I thought better. The answer letter layout was sublime today! I don’t think it gave away a thing. Another fine cartoon, but I don’t recognize the logo on the bag. Is that a hippo? Other than putt-putt, and driving ranges where you can use their clubs, I haven’t golfed in about 40 years, so I’m clueless. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
Yes, Unc Rave, I initially went with FANGLE; if something can be new-fangled, then obviously you can FANGLE it in the first place, right? By the bye, FANGLE has a listing in merriam-webster.com, so it’s a word, right? (Not in dictionary.com or chambers.co.uk, so there!) Maybe I was just slightly intoxicated from the third word … but FLANGE was the only way the secret words would SWING into place. It’s gotta be a challenge to pick 5- and 6-letter words with no anagrams. –hal
I’m very surprised, hal. I just looked it up and FANGLE is there. Looks like David L. Hoyt might have to exclude FLANGE from his list of clue words. (The WordPress spell-check doesn’t like it though.) I think we need Hoyt to make a ruling on this.

Well y’all, fangle was not in my handy dandy little Franklin Spelling Ace….thank goodness or I’d have really been stuck. Flange took a bit, and I could not back into it because it took me some time to figure out the puzzler answer!
BTW Hal, that was some very sound reasoning!!!!
