Clue/Question: The male college cheerleaders’ favorite meal consisted of – – –
Answer: “RAH–MEN“ NOODLES
(Cheap soup! Tasty, easy to make, and fairly filling. Usually pretty high in sodium though. Not a good idea to make a habit of them. No new clue words today, however all of the jumbles came up as new. I stumbled a bit on “dosted”, but the others were instantaneous for me. Splendid answer letter layout. It gave nothing away. For whatever reason, I couldn’t/didn’t think of ramen right away. I thought of udon noodles, though I knew that was an unlikely answer. But, it did give me the NOODLES, which left me with HENMAR. That’s when ramen, and it’s pun: RAH-MEN set in. The cartoon was fun. But, with the guy standing up, it looked like he was holding up an order of fries. The seated dudes did a better job of conveying noodles. Be well and do good, friends. Don’t eat too much instant ramen, especially the kind that comes in styrofoam containers!) — YUR

I had trouble with ODDEST too. I kept trying for a word ending in ED. For the final answer, for some reason, I thought that the first word was NOO-DLE and that completely threw me off. Finally, I saw the S and realized that the second word was NOODLES. That gave me RAH-MEN and the pun sank in. UR, I also thought that the guy standing up was holding fries (although that didn’t throw me off)!
You’re quite right about the sodium in those instant noodle soups, UR. I think if they weren’t loaded with salt, they’d taste pretty awful! The clue words were pretty straightforward, UNLIKE the third & fourth words today (Wednesday) …
Hey, hal. Definitely PURSER, but I saw HECTIC right away. But, you’re not alone. I’m seeing a lot of queries for HECTIC! And, somehow, yesterday became my all-time high for queries. I think someone new did a lot of looking at older ones, because I don’t think RAH-MEN NOODLES was all that tough!
