Jumble Spoiler – 02/27/19

Visual Description:  Pete Schweaty?

RYDTI  =  DIRTY,  KMISP  =  SKIMP,  NEETTX  =  EXTENT,  CCHITE  =  HECTIC   —   Giving us:  IYSKENET

Clue/Question:  Her husband smelled horrible after his workout, so she gave him the – – –

 

Answer:  STINK EYE

(I don’t think anyone would ague with me that this is a good stinky pun!  I’m not sure how common the phrase is, but I am familiar with it.  I never heard it as a kid, but plenty over the years.

All of the clue words are familiar old friends.  And, three of the jumbles have been used sometime before.  Only “rydti” is coming up as new.  Dirty spells out in alphabetical order.  I was able to see all the clue words right away.  The answer letter layout was kind of sneaky, for a simple eight letter jumble.  It took me a minute to complete the clue/question, and see the answer.

Fun cartoon, of a married couple, in their kitchen, in the morning.  I pull the same routine as the husband when I come in from mowing the lawn, during the summertime.  Great fun.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
