Clue/Question: She loved the new designer sandals. One pair in particular – – –
Pre-Answer: 4 Words (7-letters) (3-letters) (5-letters) (3-letters)
Answer: KNOCKED HER SOCKS OFF
(Wow! An 18 letter answer. That’s about as big as they come. No new clue words today, but every single jumble came up as new! “HOTFUR” sounds either like a new compound word, or lyrics to a Van Halen song! The answer letter layout was a master jumble! I thought that the answer was going to be harder to get, but when I saw that there were two Fs, I knew one of the words was going to be OFF. Fun cartoon. My friend, George, who has sold shoes for nearly 40 years, is celebrating his birthday today! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Very nice! I knew that the second word of the final answer was HER. After some staring at the answer letter layout, I realized that the last word was OFF. The answer was still not obvious. Finally, I figured that the first word was KNOCKED (thanks to all the Ks). That then gave me SOCKS.
