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
Beautiful pun! Just from the cartoon frame – before looking at the jumbled words – I was expecting RELIGIOUSLY.
Coincidentally, STEREO was an answer in Friday’s Times of London crossword puzzle, and STEREOS, in the Stanley Newman Newsday crossword. They can’t have planned that …
Hey Hal!
All those letters!!! AND, I didn’t get stuck. YEA! Grand puzzler.
Unc, what a pretty church. The pews are beautiful!
Take care all! LL
Hello, LindaLee! The long ones *can be* a bit challenging – I never SAVER-ED that cheese Jumble – but sometimes they fall right in place, and a cute cartoon is always involved.
Very nice final answer. These single word answers can sometimes be tricky, especially when they are long ones. REALLY gave me trouble, and STEREO as well. The final answer took a few seconds to figure out.
