Clue/Question: The campsites being smaller than expected resulted in a – – –
Answer: “TENTS” SITUATION
(I think we’ve had a variation of this pun before. Regardless, it’s a good stinky pun. Pretty sure all the words are old favorites. I got tripped up on “alias”. I tried to make asail with one L again! When I realized I was missing an “I” I went back and saw my mistake. All the jumbles appear to be new. I’m getting more used to this Mac!
The answer letter layout was a great jumble. Nothing obvious about it.
Cartoon looked fine. That’s it. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

For some reason I always have trouble with tuner
Actually, they were all excellent jumbles today. They all presented a bit of a challenge. But, I know what you mean, Joy. TUNER almost sounds like a fake word. — YUR
I had rather the same mental block with yesterday’s DRTONE. I wondered, is there such a word as TENDOR … it gnawed on me till I got it!
A couple of quick things that I thought you might enjoy:
It happened again…I got two e-mails within a few minutes of each other with one person saying the puzzle was too hard and the other person saying the puzzle was too easy. E-mails about the same puzzle just moments apart with complete opposite feedback. That happens a lot. Probably about once a week. I found the recent e-mails to be particular interesting because of how adamant each person was and because they came in so close together.
Also, I posted this video on Facebook and Twitter of an appearance Jeff and I made on a TV morning show a few years ago. Thought I’d share it here too in case anyone wants to check it out:
I love watching Jeff draw. It’s mesmerizing. He’s so amazing.

LOL! Once again, I considered TENDOR, but strongly suspected it wasn’t a real word! Welcome to the rat race! — YUR
