Visual Description:  Suburban “Survivor”?

CUYYK  =  YUCKY,  MLIYD  =  DIMLY,  RROPAU  =  UPROAR,  LONAAC  =  CANOLA   —   Giving us:  YYDILPRANA

Clue/Question:  The kids put on a stage performance on the lawn after being told to – – –

Answer:  PLAY IN THE YARD

(Surprisingly, I had a bit of difficulty in solving today’s Jumble!  It all started with the jumble “lonaac”.  I’m old enough to remember when “canola” was a trademark name for Canada Oil Low Acid.  It’s only been out as a cooking oil since around the mid 1970s.  But at least I was able to pick up on “stage performance” as PLAY right away!

We’ve seen all of today’s clue words in the past.  Three of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve definitely seen “cuyyk” in a previous Jumble.  The answer letter layout was a tense ten letter jumble.  It hid the final answer from me for a bit.  As I said, I got the word PLAY immediately, but I didn’t pick up on the word “lawn” in the clue/question.  So, after checking off the Y,L,P and A that left me with YDIRAN.  I figured IN for the two-letter word right away, but I kind of looked at YDRA like Huh?  I even wrote out DARY before YARD came to me!  Some days are like that, I guess.

Cute cartoon of the parents watching the kids from the living room window.  It looks like the kids are either staging their version of the long running television show, “Survivor”, or maybe even “Lord of the Flies”!  Not that either one is appropriate for small children, but I’m hoping it is the former.  “The tribe has spoken!”  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Cryptoquote Solved – 09/08/22

“Choose a major you love and you’ll never work a day in your life because that field probably isn’t hiring.”   —   Unknown

(Definitely not the absolute truth, but also not far from it.  So many people who actually do end up working almost every day of their lives are doing it in a field far from their major.  That just seems to be the way that things work out.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
