Jumble Spoiler – 08/25/18

Visual Description:  Kitchen catastrophe.

THONC  =  NOTCH,  AMOMC  =  COMMA,  WARELY  =  LAWYER,  DINADC  =  CANDID   —   Giving us:  TCMLYAI

Clue/Question:  When the chef ran out of seafood for her famous chowder, it was a – – –

Answer:  “CLAM–ITY“

All of the clue words were old favorites, although three of the jumbles appear to be new.  We’ve seen “warely” before, but it still tripped me up a little.  It’s a fine jumble.  As was “dinadc”.  A fine answer letter layout, too.  Not obvious, at all.

Great restaurant kitchen cartoon.  It looks like it might be a diner.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
