Jumble Spoiler – 07/17/18

Visual Description:  NASA briefing.

NRTOF  =  FRONT,  SUDEO  =  DOUSE,  SLEDOC  =  CLOSED,  BLLOGA  =  GLOBAL   —   Giving us:  FRODOSOSGOA

Clue/Question:  When the space probe approached Pluto, mission control said – – –

Answer:  SO FAR, SO GOOD

(I’m not sure who is going to be more excited about this Jumble, lwc or ralis95!  But, I do know that it is a popular recurring theme with David and Jeff!  Astronomy and space exploration are always quite fascinating subjects.

Somehow, we have another new clue word, in “closed”.  I thought that its jumble was very challenging, but I was quite surprised to NOT find it on the ralis95 clue word database.  It will – very soon – be a new addition to it!  I also thought that “blloga” was a great jumble.  We’ve seen “sudeo” on numerous occasions.  The answer letter layout was a wonderful jumble.  It sounds like some word from Middle Earth.

Fairly standard cartoon today.  It was nice that Jeff switched it up, and gave us a woman scientist.  We’ve been seeing a lot of Neil deGrasse Tyson lately.  Is this Voyager 2?  Whatever it is, it’s pretty cool.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
