Delayed Friday Jumble Solved – 04/22/22

Visual Description:  The roadside farm stand.

WNDUE  =  UNWED,  RUCOT  =  COURT,  PRCOEP  =  COPPER,  PDXEUL  =  DUPLEX   —   Giving us:  UEDCORCOPRDUPE

Clue/Question:  Farms that grow fruits and vegetables – – – 

Answer:  PRODUCE PRODUCE

(The cartoon scene comes off as fresh!  But that jumble pun is aged, to the point of being rotten!  Maybe, even putrid!  Okay, maybe not that bad.  But I do have a feeling we’ve seen this answer before.  I’m sure that it rang familiar to many of you too.

All of these clue words have been used before.  However, it looks like all of the jumbles have come up as new!  That’s cool.  The answer letter layout was a ferocious fourteen letter jumble.  I really felt that it was well thought out!  Definitely not obvious.  I think it was just that both of the final answer slots were seven letters.

Beautiful roadside farm stand cartoon.  I see a great variety of vegetables.  Corn, tomatoes, potatoes and yams – remember them – up top.  And, cucumbers and some kind of gourd, or possibly melons down below.  I can’t specifically make out any fruits, but I guess they might be in there.  The stand takes me back to a lot of the stands in the Finger Lakes region of New York State.  Fine cartoon, and fine Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Sunday Jumble Solved – 04/24/22

Visual Description:  Coffee talk.

NIEDIO  =  IODINE,  HAWTTR  =  THWART,  SSULYT  =  STYLUS,  GBRIEG  =  BIGGER,  SGIOPS  =  GOSSIP,  RWNOAD  =  ONWARD   —   Giving us:  OITHWTYUGGESSIONA

Clue/Question:  If you make a promise to keep a secret, you should keep it.  But that – – –

Pre-Answer:  Three Words  (4-letters)  (7-letters)  (6-letters)

Answer:  GOES WITHOUT SAYING

(Now that’s a pretty smart pun!  That is pretty much the definition of keeping a secret.  Right???  Ya gotta love it.  Now, we just gotta hope that she will live up to her words.  A slip of the lip can sink a ship!  Also know as:  Lose lips might sink ships!   Yeah, some of our older readers can relate to this.  Some things are better left unsaid.

All of today’s clue words are already on the ralis95 clue word database.  Three of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve definitely seen “hawttr”, “ssulyt” and “gbrier” in previous Jumbles.  They all came to me instantly though.  The answer letter layout was a spectacular seventeen letter jumble!  Beautifully cryptic.  Nothing about it was obvious.  The final answer slots just kind of screamed out the answer to me.  Like someone who can’t keep a secret.

Great cartoon of a kitchen scene, with two women talking over coffee, while one of the women’s dog pretends to sleep.  He’s listening to the whole conversation!  The dog could be a mole!  LOL!  Fun Sunday Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
