Jumble Spoiler – 10/05/19

Visual Description:  Don’t mess with Annie Oakley!

NTUSG  =  STUNG,  DROLE  =  OLDER,  TRAXOH  =  THORAX,  KEORNB  =  BROKEN   —   Giving us:  STUOLETHORBROE

Clue/Question:  She was able to fix her own skeet gun because she was a – – –

Answer:  TROUBLE–SHOOTER

(PULL!  Shwoop!  BLAM!!!  Skeet shooting looks like a lot of fun.  I’d love to try it.  I wouldn’t want to try it with Dick Cheney in my party, but I’d definitely give it a shot!

None of Saturday’s clue words were new, but all of their jumbles came up as new.  I got a little tripped up by “drole”.  Maybe it’s because I don’t like to admit that I’m getting older!   The answer letter layout was a very impressive fourteen letter jumble.  I thought it did a wonderful job disguising the final answer.  I figured that one of the seven letter answer words had to be SHOOTER, and the TUOLERB gave me no trouble.

Fine cartoon showing a very interesting sport.  I’ve never fired a shotgun before.  Skeet shooting is usually portrayed as a rich man’s sport in movies and on TV.  But, there must be shooting clubs where regular folks can do it.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
