SEYMS  =  MESSY,  SSEEN  =  SENSE,  SUEYNA  =  UNEASY,  LAPLOG  =  GALLOP   —   Giving us:  ESSSENNESLLO

Clue/Question:  When the teacher taught subtraction to the students, it was a – – –

Answer:  LESSEN LESSON

(I love it!  An arith-matic stinky pun!  I just made up the word.  But, hey!  It amuses for me.  And, that’s all that really matters.  Writing a blog is hit or miss anyway. 

Zilch clue words were new today.  Two of the jumbles were noticeably new.  But, Hoyt has surely used both “seyms” and “sseen” in prior Jumbles.  It took a couple of seconds to see “uneasy”.  UN words are UNCOOL, in my book.  The answer letter layout was a twelve letter jumble.  Neither good, nor bad.  With so many letters being alike it makes solving the final answer pretty easy.

Nice cartoon of a Kindergarten teacher and a few of her charges.  Ya gotta love how easily the little ones get distracted!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
