(Belated) Jumble Spoiler – 03/18/21

Visual Description:  Preliminary quarters.

MEEEC  =  EMCEE,  RYFTO  =  FORTY,  RRYATO  =  ROTARY,  SKOPNE  =  SPOKEN   —   Giving us:  EEEFRTRRSPN

Clue/Question:  They leased a home instead of buying one because it was their – – –

Answer:  “PREFER–RENTS“

(A wonderful pun, and a not too difficult solve.  Their decision makes a lot of sense.  Maybe the owner will give them an option to buy the place, if they like it enough.  Buying a house is a huge commitment, and not to be taken lightly.

No new clue words, but three of the jumbles came up as new.  We’ve see “meeec” in the past.  The answer letter layout was an elegant eleven letter jumble.  Kind of unusual having only one – repeated – vowel.  Don’t remember when David last did that.  My jumble radar was strong that day.  I got the final answer right away.

Nice cartoon of a couple, surfing the web, trying to find a good place to stay.  I wonder if they went to that Jeff Goldblum site?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
