“A beautiful woman delights the eye; a wise woman, the understanding; a pure one, the soul.”   —   Minna Antrim

Jumble Spoiler – 08/19/16

Visual Description:  Dish-washing . . . on acid.

YALBW  =  BYLAW,  FARET  =  AFTER,  LOBDYL  =  BOLDLY,  SEEMSA  =  SESAME   —   Giving us:  BLAFERBODSSE

Clue/Question:  The sponge came to life and could now talk.  Too bad he was so – – –

Answer:  SELF-ABSORBED

(Great pun!  I loved it.  There was a new word today.  “Boldly” is not in the ralis95 clue word database.  Our friend will need to update the world famous database.  Three of the jumbles are new, but we’ve seen “faret” before.  The answer letter layout was really great.  And, the cartoon is very clever.  Spongebob Squarepants is a great character.   Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
