Answer:  STOPANDGO

(The occasional literal/figurative pun can be a fun little diversion!  All of today’s clue words are tried and true, yet all of the jumbles are shiny and new.  I hesitated just a might with “prance”, because the jumble was so close to the actual word.  And, even with the double consonant, I whiffed on “nugget” for a couple of seconds.  I thought David’s answer letter layout was brilliant.  I don’t think it gave anything away.  Jeff’s cartoon set the tone nicely, to boot.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

    Me too, UR! I didn’t just PRANCE right over the NUGGET. Nice, deceptive scrambling, and a fairly literal solution. How do they keep coming up with these?

    I think that they occasionally take suggestions, Roy. If you have any ideas for one you could always write Hoyt at: dlhoyt@hoytinteractivemedia.com

    Another of those double letter words that stumped me. YIKES!! So this puzzle took much longer than breakfast! But what a way to start the day. Love the picture of the traffic policeman. Some of them can get really fancy!!! LL
