Jumble Spoiler – 02/17/17

Visual Description:  Charity in the pews.

VICLI  =  CIVIL,  UCCHO  =  COUCH,  YELRAL  =  REALLY,  SETORE  =  STEREO   —   Giving us:  VILCOCLLYTEE

Clue/Question:  The churchgoers passed around the offering plate – – –

Answer:  COLLECTIVELY

(Wonderful pun!  We actually had a new clue word today, in “really”.  No, I mean REALLY?  This has never been used as a clue word before???  I guess truth IS stranger than fiction!  We have seen the jumble “vicli” before.  Have you guys noticed that the first two clue words often start with the same letter?  I hope David doesn’t make this a regular habit!  The answer letter layout was also a wonderful jumble.  And, the cartoon did a great job of telling the story.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
