(A lovely, historical and geographical pun! Magellan was a pretty crafty dude. He gets credit for being the first to circumnavigate the globe, despite being killed by my in-laws ancestors! Well, at least his ship and some of his crew made it back home. We have no new clue words today, but three of the jumbles are coming up as new. We’ve definitely seen “bihta” before. I really liked the jumble for “putrid”, and I just love the word. It has disgust built right into it! The answer letter layout was masterful. It gave nothing away. I think you have to be a bit of a history – and maybe geography – buff to get and appreciate today’s Jumble. Cool drawing too. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

One has to wonder how come this guy doesn’t have a continent named after him. Well, he has a constellation but still.
Two entrants to the “toughest words” list in two days – PUTRID was today’s entry. I did not have any trouble with the rest of the words. The final answer was tough. For close to 30 seconds, I had no clue what the answer was, until it suddenly occurred to me that the second word could be AHEAD. Unscrambling the remaining letters gave STRAIT. The pun dawned on me after the fact. Very nice!
where can i see the picture if not in the newspaper?
