Sunday Jumble Spoiler – 12/03/17

Visual Description:  Arithmetic class.

CORINI  =  IRONIC,  MYGPUR  =  GRUMPY, SIYFET  =  FEISTY,  EFNODF  =  OFFEND,  RUHOLY  =  HOURLY,  GRIOIN  =  ORIGIN   —   Giving us:  ONIGRFTONDHOOG

Clue/Question:  A zero doesn’t have any value because it’s – – –

Pre-Answer:  Three Words  (4-letters)  (3-letters)  (7-letters)

Answer:  GOOD FOR NOTHING

(Even before looking at the cartoon and the clue/question, I knew what the answer was!  Just the layout of the answer, and the answer letter layout, seemed to scream GOOD FOR NOTHING, to me.  We actually have a brand new clue word today, in “grumpy”.  Our good friend, ralis95, will have to update his world famous clue word database.  Five of the jumbles came up as new too.  Only “ruholy”  has definitely been used before.  Fine job with the answer letter layout, even though I somehow saw the answer.  Nifty classroom cartoon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
