Jumble Spoiler – 11/25/20

Visual Description:  Plotting a course.

BROOT  =  ROBOT,  LIEDY  =  YIELD,  PNRSIG  =  SPRING,  KWAANE  =  AWAKEN   —   Giving us:  OOTYISPNAW

Clue/Question:  Before they chose a route to travel, they looked at the map to – – –

Answer:  “WAY“ THEIR OPTIONS

(A stinky pun, to be sure.  Looks like our guys decided to take the shorter weigh today!  Some of you die-hards might be able to cite another time that they used this gag, but it seems fresh to me.

All of today’s clue words are tried and true.  The only jumble that’s a rerun is “broot”.  The other three came up as new.  The answer letter layout was a tidy ten letter jumble.  It actually had me guessing for a minute or two.  But, I eventually saw my way to it.

Fine cartoon of some serious bike riders.  I see they’ve got those lycra/spandex bike pants.  I’m much more of a casual bike rider.  Just jeans, or cargo shorts, for me.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
