Jumble Spoiler – 10/30/21

Visual Description:  Notices of a SALE!

GAAED  =  ADAGE,  ASRHH  =  HARSH,  EEECXD  =  EXCEED,  DRSUIA  =  RADIUS   —   Giving us:  DAEHRHEEERAD

Clue/Question:  Her instructions for putting up the store’s signs for the sale included – – –

Answer:  ADHERE AD HERE

(Second day in a row where the final answer was a toughie!  David L. Hoyt seems to be pulling out all the stops.  You really got to hand it to him.  Besides yesterday’s new clue word/s, he gave us a tough Jumble that really made us think.  At least I had to.  We don’t always remember that to jumble something means to mix it up.  Today’s was also more word play than an actual pun.  I know I enjoyed it.

No new clue words today.  Three of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve definitely seen “gaaed” in previous Jumbles.  The only one that I had to look at a few time was “drsuia”.  If I were more Math inclined I probably would have seen “radius” sooner.  The answer letter layout was a terrific twelve letter jumble.  Not obvious to me.  It took a few minutes for me to come up with a two letter word with these letters.  I knew HE didn’t make any sense!

Fine cartoon of women working at their clothing store.  It’s always nice to see businesses run by women, and especially by women of color.  Fine Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
