Jumble Spoiler – 03/05/19

Visual Description:  Ya can’t buy class, folks.

NHYAD  =  HANDY,  KRIQU  =  QUIRKY  or QUIRK,  RAFOLV  =  FLAVOR,  GEDLEN  =  LEGEND   —   Giving us:  ANYUIKFOGD

Clue/Question:  Most people would have helped the stranded motorist, but he wasn’t that – – –

Answer:  KIND OF A GUY

(No.  He’s a self-important putz, who’s too busy to stop and help a little old lady in distress.  Plus, besides not wanting to get his hands dirty, I bet he doesn’t even know how to change a flat tire.  Guys like this just piss me off.  Next time I see some rich guy sporting a man-bun I’m going to slap him, in memory of this sweet old lady.

We have a new clue word today, in “quirky”.  Yes, we are one word closer to finishing up the 33rd page of the ralis95 world famous clue word database!  We’ve had quirk for a while now, and today we’ve finally added “quirky”.  Never mind!  No new clue words.  All of today’s jumbles appear to be new.  The answer letter layout was a mighty fine ten letter jumble.  Nothing obvious about it.

Another fine cartoon.  We can’t have a bad guy driving a Jumble mobile!  But, he is driving a nice sports car.  Even if he can’t change a tire, the least he could do is give her a ride!  Fun Jumble!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
