Jumble Spoiler – 07/25/18

Visual Description:  Winning the big race.

LAPTN  =  PLANT,  BIHTA  =  HABIT,  LWWIOL  =  WILLOW,  FAYTIR  =  RATIFY   —   Giving us:  ANTHAIWIWRATY

Clue/Question:  The marathoner’s finish wasn’t even close.  The winner – – –

Answer:  RAN AWAY WITH IT

(Wow!  Just like a Katelyn Tuohy race!  Did you see her on the ESPY Awards?  She won the High School Female Athlete of the Year award, presented to her by retired soccer player Abby Wambach.  And, she’s just going into her Junior year.  Remarkable kid.

All of today’s clue words are old favorites.  Two of the jumbles came up as new, but they’ve definitely used “bihta” and “lwwiol” before.  The answer letter layout was a super cryptic jumble.  Not obvious, in the least.  I think the blocking for the answer was what helped me get the answer so quickly.  Good pun.  Not too stinky.

Great cartoon.  Good use of perspective.  You can see that the number 2 guy is WAY back!  The first spectator, behind the barricade, looks like she is incredulous!  Everyone else is all smiles.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
