Jumble Spoiler – 03/13/18

Visual Description:  The daily grind is harsh!

SINYO  =  NOISY,  YARLO  =  ROYAL,  OTAGEE  =  GOATEE,  GRETTA  =  TARGET   —   Giving us:  NIRGTAG

Clue/Question:  The pizza parlor’s employee found shredding so much cheese to be – – –

Answer:  GRATING

(Yes.  Very unpleasant, indeed.  The poor guy is barely scraping by.  All of today’s clue words are tried and true, yet all of of their jumbles appear to be new.  WordPress did not underline Gretta as being misspelled, as it is a variant of Greta.  It’s fairly rare that Hoyt uses a name as a jumble to a clue word.  The answer letter layout was a fine jumble.  Nothing obvious about it.

Grate pizza kitchen cartoon!  Woke up with my back out!  It’s hardest having to walk.  Wally is going to suffer a little.  I hope it passes soon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
