Clue/Question: The earth orbits the sun – – –
Answer: ALL YEAR ROUND
(The actual Question, in today’s Jumble, comes from the young lady in the cartoon. The Answer is a fill-in-the-blank continuation of the statement in the Clue/Question. The Clue/Question being more of a complete the statement is nothing new. It’s fairly common. We use the word “round” to generally describe an orbit, but it is really more of an elliptical path. Kinda like how we describe anything four-sided as square, when very often rectangular is more accurate.
No new clue words today, although three of the jumbles appear to be new. They’ve used “warnd” before. The answer letter layout was another cryptic, twelve letter jumble. It hid the answer very well.
Another great Neil deGrasse Tyson cartoon. I’m guessing we’re seeing Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, at least. Maybe the orb being supported by legs is Jupiter, because it is so massive. Or, maybe that is the sun that the planets are rotating around. The lady is either a teacher, or a classroom-mom/chaperone. The kids seem to be really into it. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

They did it to us again !
Only eight planets with Pluto demoted to the “children’s table” !
I don’t know how long we should put up with this disrespect.
Pluto is part of the family and deserves to be loved.
He’s earned it !
I thought Busily might be new, since that’s kind of an unusual word (at least in my mind) for a clue word. Three syllables, so to speak. At first, I thought the answer was ‘The Year Round’. But that didn’t account for the Ls. 🙂
