Sunday Jumble Spoiler – 09/23/18

Visual Description:  Suburban entrepreneurs.

RUVEIT  =  VIRTUE,  DIETEX  =  EXITED,  LPOLGA  =  GALLOP,  SDOYHD  =  SHODDY,  KMABER  =  EMBARK,  NARENM  =  MANNER   —   Giving us:  VITEDALSDDEARNN

Clue/Question:  When it came to selling lemonade, the girls were prepared to – – –

Pre-Answer:  Three Words  (5-letters)  (3-letters)  (7-letters)

Answer:  STAND AND DELIVER

(A semi-stinky pun.  Better than my initial notion of blank THE DISTANCE, which wouldn’t fit anyway.  Nothing sour about this Jumble!

Surprisingly, for me, “exited” is coming up as a new clue word!  Our good friend. ralis95, will have to add this to his world famous clue word database!  All of today’s jumbles came up as new.  And, “virtue” stumped me!  I had to back into it!  Not a good sign.  Perhaps it means I’m a person of low, or no, virtue???  I hesitated a little on “embark” and “exited”, but I got ’em.  The answer letter layout was a dandy of a jumble.  Nicely cryptic, indeed.

Really cute cartoon.  Takes me back to my childhood.  Very nice neighborhood.  People walking their dogs, father and son, and kids selling lemonade.  It’s the American ideal!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
