Jumble Spoiler – 02/22/19

Visual Description:  Miss Piggy’s Dance School.

TUYPT  =  PUTTY,  HEWLE  =  WHEEL,  CEINTE  =  ENTICE,  EFOTEF  =  TOFFEE   —   Giving us:  TTWELETEOFF

Clue/Question:  The horse wanted to take dance lessons but was worried about his – – –

Answer:  TWO LEFT FEET

(Notice how Mr. Ed is glancing down toward his bent front left leg!  That’s the bonus clue, bunkies.  But, this is a wonderful stinky pun, my friends.  Just about everyone who is stressed out about dance lessons claims to have two left feet.  It really has nothing to do about having two left feet, or two right feet, it’s all about over thinking how to dance.  It’s not two physical feet, it’s two mental left feet.

No new clue words today.  A couple of the jumbles appear to be new, with both “tuypt” and “hewle” having definitely been used before.  I thought the last jumble might be some compound word, like teeoff, but I soon saw “toffee”.  Love toffee!  I was glad it wasn’t a compound word.  The answer letter layout was a dandy of a 11-letter jumble.  Nothing obvious about it.

Cute talking animal cartoon!  A pig in a tutu!  Is that sort of like putting lipstick on a pig?!?!  This was a fun way to end the work week.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
