Sunday Jumble Spoiler – 10/15/17

OGATEU  =  OUTAGE,  SGIRNP  =  SPRING,  PETYUD  =  DEPUTY,  FATOLA  =  AFLOAT,  FAACED  =  FACADE,  FURIAN  =  UNFAIR   —   Giving us:  OUSPEPULOAFADNR

Clue/Question:  With the audience in a circle, the performer received a – – –

Pre-Answer:  Three Words  (5-letters)  (2-letters)  (8-letters)

Answer:  ROUND OF APPLAUSE

(Very good.  No new clue words.  All new jumbles.  First five . . . forthwith, but “furian” kinda floored me.  I couldn’t get ruffian out of my head, so I ended up having to back into it.  I was a little disappointed when it turned out to be “unfair”.  Most the un words are a little unfair, in my opinion.  The answer letter layout was a great jumble.  Not obvious.  The cartoon and the clue/question set it all up beautifully.  It’s always fun seeing Jeff and Kathy in the cartoon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
