Answer: LOGIC WAS SOUND
(“Mary had a little lamb.” Those were the first words Edison ever recorded on his first cylinder phonograph. No firsts today, as far as clue words go. But, three of today’s jumbles came up as new. Only “crodh” has definitely been used here before. The answer letter layout was excellent today! A fantastic, cryptic jumble! And, a great period piece cartoon. Lots of fun.

I thought I would find a crowd here! Got the clue words quickly, figured WAS was the three letter word. Then I found SOUND…..BUT, SOUND was mentioned in the puzzler cartoon. That won’t do. So I worked and worked and finally decided that there was no “rule” that I knew of the guyz stuck to regarding the use of words in this manner, though it didn’t happen very often, so — I took out WAS and SOUND from the clue letters to see what I had left….tada! Logic. So, guyz, y’all were a bit diabolical today!!!! Grand puzzler. L
Yeah. The cartoon dialogue is fair game, LL. — YUR
