Clue/Question: The monsters’ toddler wouldn’t be hideous enough to scare people until he – – –
Answer: GREW SOME
(Marvelous! A great pun of gruesome. There were no new clue words, today. But, all of the jumbles appear as new to me. I actually had to back into “sailor”. I didn’t give it a ton of thought. Sometimes backing into a tough jumble word is just more expedient. The answer letter layout was top-notch too. And the cartoon was priceless! Frankenstein’s monster and the Creature from the Black Lagoon. But, phew! That is one homely kid! It won’t take him too long to get to hideous. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
