Pre-Answer: Two Hyphenated Words (2-letters)-(5-letters), (3-letters)-(5-letters)
Answer: ON–AGAIN, OFF–AGAIN
(Back to immediate family, with David and Claire, and Jeff and Kathy. And some pooches, of course. All of today’s clue words are old favorites, with two of the jumbles also having been used before. I’m sure you guys can figure out which ones. The answer letter layout did a good job of hiding the answer that really only uses five different letters. And, the cartoon is classic Knurek. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

This was possibly the easiest Sunday Jumble this year. None of the words gave me any trouble. For the final answer, it was clear that the first part of the first word was ON, the first part of the second word was OFF and the second parts of both words were the same. This made the solution very simple.
I thought it was pretty easy, but the hyphens threw me off for a second or two. I’m not so sure they were necessary. — YUR

Thanks, for all the catch-up comments, Vijay! Don’t feel compelled that you must comment on every Jumble Spoiler though. When you’re away you’re away. And, when you’re back, just take care of the more important things. — YUR 🙂
