Jumble Spoiler – 05/09/17

Visual Description:  The business district.

XTREE  =  EXERT,  VAHNE  =  HAVEN,  HTORYP  =  TROPHY,  MYSLOB  =  SYMBOL   —   Giving us:  XETENTRSO

Clue/Question:  Their business was on a street with many shops and another one was opening – – – 

Answer:  NEXT “STORE“

(Great pun!  I remember, when I was a kid, thinking that NEXT DOOR was NEXT “STORE”!  No new clue words today.  And only “vahne” and “htoryp” are new jumbles today.  They’ve used both “xtree” and “myslob” before.  The answer letter layout was another fine jumble.  It looks like a nice cartoon, but I’m stuck with the reduced sized ones for the next few days, so I can’t make out any detail.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
