Jumble Spoiler – 10/22/19

 

Visual Description:  Shoddy window workmanship!

NTEGA  =  AGENT,  POSYU  =  SOUPY,  RRTIWE  =  WRITER,  NAEEGG  =  ENGAGE   —   Giving us:  AENSOPWRINGG

Clue/Question:  The window company was struggling and experiencing – – –

Answer:  GROWING “PANES“

(This feels a little like a re-run, to me.  Possibly just a variation on a theme, I suppose.  Makes for a fine stinky pun though.  Good glaziers are hard to find, I guess.  It would seem that working with glass would take a lot of focus, and a steady hand.  Not sure if I’d be any good at it.

All of today’s clue words already reside on the ralis95 clue word database.  Three of the jumbles came up as new, with “posyu” having definitely been used before.  The answer letter layout made for a cryptic, twelve letter jumble.  The ING kind of stuck out though.  But, it was probably the quotation marks that made solving the puzzle crystal clear.

Fine window factory cartoon.  Maybe, not all that it’s cracked up to be, but you get the picture!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
