Clue/Question: When their son began to learn addition, his proud parents thought it was – – –
Answer: “AWE–SUM“
(Ba-dum-tsss! Yes, this is an extremely stinky pun! If it was a Chinese family, and the son was NOT good at Math, and the clue/question was reworded . . . maybe the answer would be DIM SUM? Aah, I don’t think the guys would risk a Jumble gag like that. There might be some kind of backlash!
All of today’s clue words are tried and true . . . far from new. Three of the jumbles did come up as new for me. But we’ve definitely seen “lihwe” sometime before. I didn’t find any of them difficult today. The answer letter layout was a sweet six letter jumble. But the short final answers are usually pretty simple solves. Especially when there are quotation marks and a hyphen!
Nice homey domestic scene cartoon. Mom, Dad and the little buckeroo, sitting at the kitchen table, on a Sunday morning . . . after the big game. And, a contented pooch sleeping under the table. It looks like Mom is a Wolverines fan, while Dad is a Spartans fan. That’s probably why she looks so chipper, while he looks down in the dumps. Not a big challenge, but a fun Jumble nonetheless. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
