Sunday Jumble Spoiler – 03/21/21

Visual Description:  An unfavorable result.

IDQULI  =  LIQUID,  ZNLOZE  =  NOZZLE,  SPHIAM  =  MISHAP,  NRBANE  =  BANNER,  RTWEET  =  WETTER,  TNYTIE  =  ENTITY   —   Giving us:  LIIOLMAANTTEN

Clue/Question:  The new clock was obviously defective and broke – – –

Pre-Answer:  Five Words  (2-letters)  (2-letters)  (4-letters)  (2-letters)  (3-letters) 

Answer:  IN NO TIME AT ALL

(It seems like it’s been a while since we had a Sunday gimme!  I don’t know about you guys, but this one came to me right away.  I was going to say in no time at all, but it’s been used already.  I got it lickety split.  I got it in a heartbeat.  I got it in a jiffy.

None of today’s clue words are new additions.  However, every single jumble came up as new, for me.  I wouldn’t say they were all gimmes, but none of them stumped me either.  The answer letter layout was another thrilling thirteen letter jumble, but it couldn’t hide the final answer.

Cute cartoon of a young couple trying to install a newfangled, fancy schmancy projection clock.  I like the fail signal though!  Very funny!  Hey, guys?  Could we just ease up on all the finger pointing, and blaming of minorities???  It’s really unfair, hurtful, and just plain ignorant.  We all should be able to channel our frustrations in a non-violent manner.  If you can’t see that then maybe you should be spending less time on the internet.  Misinformation is bad enough, but when it’s hateful it’s debilitating.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
