Jumble Spoiler – 05/17/17

Visual Description:  Indiana wants me.  (Jeff’s feeling nostalgic.)

SUFFS  =  FUSSY,  EYEND  =  NEEDY,  DIRZWA  =  WIZARD,  EBELET  =  BEETLE   —   Giving us:  SSYNEARDBTE

Clue/Question:  The people on the platform waving to the departing train were – – –

Answer:  “BYE–STANDERS“

(Maybe, a little before Jeff’s time?  A very nice period pun.  No new clue words, but three of the jumbles appear to be new.  They’ve used “suyfs” before.  The answer letter layout was a spectacular jumble.  It gave nothing away.  The cartoon is great early 20th Century rail history.  Jeff’s hometown?  Kathy’s hometown?  Maybe Jeff will tell.  Yesterday’s Jumble drew a lot of attention.  I also pulled in 5 or 6 new followers,  so maybe they viewed a lot of the older spoilers.  That happens sometimes.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
