Jumble Spoiler – 04/29/20

 

Visual Description:  Location, location, location.

SEERU  =  REUSE,  DAAPN  =  PANDA,  HAWTTR  =  THWART,  HOTSEO  =  SOOTHE   —   Giving us:  REENDTRTE

Clue/Question:  The house was available to lease, but the highway next to it was a – – –

Answer:  “DETER–RENT“

(Stinky pun!  Smells like diesel fumes.  Ugh!  Definitely NOT a bargain.  Besides the noise, I’m sure there would be some pretty serious vibration issues.  You probably couldn’t pay me to live there.

All familiar old clue words today.  Three of the jumbles are coming up as new, but we’ve definitely seen “daapn” sometime before.  The answer letter layout was a fine nine letter jumble.  I knew the second half of the word had to be RENT, but I had to write out the EDRTE in order to see DETER. 

Great cartoon of a house below a highway overpass.  I’m guessing the house was there first.  I can’t see anyone building in that kind of location.  Good Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
