Jumble Spoiler – 03/13/20cett

Visual Description:  Saved By Zero.

RIHYA  =  HAIRY,  UNHAM  =  HUMAN,  GARNDO  =  DRAGON,  CETTUS  =  CUTEST   —   Giving us:  HIHMNGONCUT

Clue/Question:  The zeroes got together and did – – –

Answer:  NOTHING MUCH

(Excellent pun!  I always enjoy the animated number cartoon/puns.  And, this reminds me of one my favorite standard gags.  Whenever someone asks me: Qué pasa?, or Qué paso?  I always reply:  Nada.  Nada damn thing.  Thank you.  Thank you very much.  I’m here all week.  Try the veal!

Hoyt has snuck in a new clue word today, in “cutest”.  Ralis95 will have to update his world famous clue word database!  Two of the jumbles came up as new.  But we’ve definitely seen both “rihya” and “garndo” sometime in the past.  That did not stop me from struggling to get “dragon”.  It must be one of my pet peeve words!  It took me a few looks to get “cutest” too.  The answer letter layout was a beautifully cryptic jumble.  Not obvious, in the least.

What can I say about this extremely clever cartoon?  Zeroes lounging by the pool!  Brilliant.  Whoda thought that zeroes led such relaxed lives?  Nice work, David and Jeff!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
