Pre-Answer:  Four Words  (4-letters)  (2-letters)  (5-letters)  “(4-letters)”

Answer:  LOVE AT FIRST “SITE“

(A fairly predictable pun, and a pretty quick solve, for me.  How about you guys?  Congrats to Jeff’s Michigan Wolverines, on their 42-3 trouncing of Iowa.  After quite a long absence, they are finally in contention to play for the national championship.  First they play Georgia in the Orange Bowl, and then – hopefully – they’ll get to play either Alabama or Cincinnati for all the marbles!  Best of luck to the blue and gold!

There were no new clue words today.  Five of the jumbles are coming up as new for me today.  However, we have definitely seen “gelale” in past Jumbles.  I didn’t struggle with any of the jumbles today.  The answer letter layout was a fascinating fifteen letter jumble.  Nothing about it gave anything away.  I think the final answer slots, and the one that has the quotation marks, were what helped me to solve it quickly.

“It must be a good thing to be good or everybody wouldn’t be pretending he was.”   —   Finley Peter Dunne

(Finley Peter Dunne was kind of like the Stephen Colbert of his day.  Probably more so, as it was a simpler time, and newspapers were pretty much the only medium.  People actually read . . . a lot back then.  He looks a little like my great grandfather.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
