TCIHK  =  THICK,  UTOOD  =  OUTDO,  SAUEYN  =  UNEASY,  PIOTTE  =  TIPTOE   —   Giving us:  THIKOTONESTIO

Clue/Question:  Her grandparents gave her their old car, and she really – – –

Answer:  TOOK A SHINE TO IT

(Another sublime Jumble!  For Hoyt, the hits just keep on coming.  And, it’s a dandy of a pun too!  It doesn’t exactly have that new car smell, but it’s hardly stinky either.

All of the clue words are very familiar old friends.  All of today’s jumbles are coming up as new though.  I can’t say I struggled with any of them.  But, the answer letter layout was a splendid, thirteen letter jumble.  Nothing about it was obvious, at all.

Great cartoon.  It looks like Florida again.  That’s a very popular state for grandparents.  The teen is going to love her “new” Jumble-mobile.  She’s lucky to have such great grandparents.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
