Sunday Jumble Spoiler – 01/02/22

Visual Description:  The non-starter.

LOFUDN  =  UNFOLD,  LAGIOE  =  GOALIE,  EQINUU  =  UNIQUE,  HNASIB  =  BANISH,  NECCSI  =  SCENIC,  ROMPIT  =  IMPORT   —   Giving us:  UNGOEUNQBISNIRT

Clue/Question:  Would they be able to get the campfire started with the wet wood?  That was the – – –

Pre-Answer:  Two Words  (7-letters)  (8-letters)

Answer:  BURNING QUESTION

(It’s a good thing that something is burning!  Because wet wood is not likely to ignite.  I hope it’s not getting dark soon for these campers.  They might be in for a very chilly night.  Well, at the very least they can get by with body heat.

All of today’s clue words have been used at one time or another.  Four of the jumbles appear to be new, but we have definitely seen “lagioe” and “rompit” in previous Jumbles.  The answer letter layout was a fantastic fifteen letter jumble.  It was beautifully cryptic.  But the clue/question was just so leading!  And, the Q and U’s helped too.

Nice cartoon of the soggy family of campers.  I’m guessing they were caught in a heavy, sudden downpour.  None of them appear to be experienced campers, and that’s usually not optimal.  Fun Sunday Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“It is generally unwise to raise an issue when one is not prepared to accept the likely response.”   —   Henry Kissinger

(Definitely not a “good” guy, but he certainly is a bright guy.  Probably about the brightest guy ever to work for the U.S. government.  It was fairly tough getting this one started, due to the way my newspaper crammed this one in, and three words started on one line and continued on the next.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
