Clue/Question: The new washing machine had just arrived and they were ready to – – –
Answer: GIVE IT A WHIRL
(Wasn’t WHIRL recently a clue word? It definitely sounds familiar to me. We’ve got both a Whirlpool washer AND dryer, thanks to our old Hotpoint dryer dying out. The extended warranty ran out, and the cost of a relatively simple repair was ridiculous. So, now it looks like we bought them as a pair!
All of today’s clue words are familiar old favorites. And, three of the jumbles have been used before, with only “tilva” coming up as new. The answer letter layout was a decent twelve letter jumble, but I was able to see the final answer right away.

Yes, WHIRL was a regular word to be unscrambled three days earlier, in Tuesday’s puzzle.
I hope “Bunny” is a toy (as it does appear to be in the cartoon) and not a real bunny 8-0! More than a few cats have died jumping into washers and dryers, and other pets have died after being dropped in by young ‘uns before the adults, who have briefly stepped away, hit the Start button.
