Clue/Question: When it came to the design of his new yacht, he – – –
Answer: WENT OVERBOARD
(Even the seagull is impressed. Or, at least stunned. The 1% are going to do what they’re going to do. It doesn’t matter to them if it’s crass and self-indulgent. If Jeff wanted to add a little poetic justice, he could have added a great white with his mouth open. But, then he’d have to change the expression on one of their faces. LOL. All of today’s clue words were old favorites, but all of the jumbles came up as new! The answer letter layout was awesome. I don’t think it gave anything away. The answer made for a fun pun. The cartoon is very cool. You can even see the water-slider and the yacht on the woman’s cellphone/camera! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
At 13 letters, the secret words slowed me down. I actually had to write out the circled letters! It’s not as easy as outworking myself, à la Pat Summitt!
Nice tie-in, buddy! Thanks. — YUR
My streak is broken. 18 seconds today. VITAL took me a second (as it always does) and WOBBLE caused some … well … wobble (I always think BELLOW first). I had to think a little for the final answer as well. I figured out WENT first and then OVERBOARD followed fairly quickly after.
