Answer: SPOILED ROTTEN
(Too many people today do not understand the have/keep concept, so the old expression does not resonate with them. There are no new clue words today, but three of the jumbles seem to be new. I know we’ve seen “nixto” before. I was able to see all the clue words immediately. I think switching the order of the clue words would have made for a more challenging answer letter layout. Especially the two six-letter words. SPLD is very close to SPOILED. The cartoon did a good job of setting up the gag. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
