Jumble Spoiler – 11/14/18

Visual Description:  Up all night.

LOBTA  =  BLOAT,  OTAPI  =  PATIO,  LESPYE  =  SLEEPY,  KATMER  =  MARKET   —   Giving us:  BLTPAOSLEEMRT

Clue/Question:  Drinking coffee after three o’clock caused Susan a – – –

Answer:  “LATTE“ PROBLEMS

(My bias prevented me from seeing the answer for a while.  I’m strictly a black – two sugars – kinda coffee guy.  Cappuccinos and lattes and such are not really in my purview.  I’ll occasionally go for an espresso.  So, today we get Sandra Bell-Lundy, the creator of “Between Friends”.  This is a cartoon that my newspaper does carry!  It took the place of “Cathy” when that lady retired.  I like it better than “Cathy”.

No new clue words today.  However three of the four jumbles came up as new.  We’ve seen “otapi” before.  I thought that “lespye” and “katmer” were challenging jumbles.  The answer letter layout was a stupendous jumble!  It kept me going for a while.  At first I thought maybe TOTAL something, or SLEEP something, even though a clue word had SLEEP in it.  I thought the second word might be MATTRESS, but I was lacking one S.  I had to come back to it, and concentrate on the quotation marks, for the punny word.

Great cartoon.  Susan definitely looks totally wired!  She will not be getting much sleep.  She’ll be dealing with some nice dark bags under her eyes the next day.  LOL!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(For better, or for worse!  This was a nice easy solve.  Not like today’s Jumble!  I have to get back to that.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
