Clue/Question: They sold more movie tickets at the theater than they – – –
Answer: HAD PROJECTED
(Oooh! A real stinker of a pun. This one would be rated 
on Rotten Tomatoes! I definitely cannot remember this answer being used before. And that is such a relief. I’m so tired of sequels and pre-quels, with all their fabricated “backstories”! A little originality, for a change, is very refreshing.
All of today’s clue words were remakes from older Jumbles. Yet, we’re seeing a whole new cast of jumbles! None of them had any real “depth”, but they got the job done. The answer letter layout was a twisty twelve letter jumble. Nothing predictable about it. I checked off HAD right away. From the remaining PRECODJTE the word PROJECTED came into view.
Great cartoon of ushers at the multi-plex! I think that might be our friend Angela in the audience. She has always fancied herself as the Jumble’s biggest fan. I wonder if the boys comped her tickets? Save me some popcorn, Ange! Lots of fun today. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Hi UR…LOL! No, not me. I haven’t been to Chicago in years…Hope all is well. 🙋🏻♀️
Sleepy Joe traded For Brittany Griner this morning. He gave up Victor Bout. He is a terrorist. Please realize Biden just got taken to the woodshed on this deal. This has to go down as the most lopsided trade in the history of trades. What happened to Griner was beyond bad but this feels like a short sighted PR stunt.
Are you SURE you’re not Ken??? LOL! I guess you could call a convicted arms dealer a “terrorist”, but then I guess you’d have to call the U.S. and Israel terrorists too. One for one isn’t lopsided. Sure one was just a freakish basketball player, who – no mater how you spin it – DID break Russian law, and the other was a *potential* terrorist and convicted arms dealer, but none of the parties involved could honestly be called *innocent*. Especially Whelan for Krasikov, like Putin wanted. I’ve been for the legalization of marijuana for the last thirty years, even though I don’t smoke it, but possessing it is still a crime in many countries around the world. The “Oops, I didn’t mean to bring that here” just does not cut it. I think that if Biden had pulled this off prior to the midterm elections – where the Dems won back the Senate, and the Repubs narrowly took back the House – then you *could* call this a PR stunt, but now it’s more an act of good cheer, getting her home to her family for the holidays. Could Griner have been brought home for a lesser tradeoff? Ideally, in calmer times, sure. But unfortunately, Putin was in the driver’s seat on this. Who would you have traded for Griner? Yakov Smirnoff??? — YUR
YUR about that Bout Bella.

The world is full of scumbags like him, Smitty. I’m sure they weighed all the pros and cons of setting him free. And, they likely planted a tracking device up his butt, so we know where he is at all times! LOL! But I’m surprised that you would cite a source with such a liberal agenda, Smitty! 😉 — YUR
I’m fair and balanced. Even the Liberals know the guy is a danger to society. What does that tell ya?

It tells me you’ve misplaced your sense of humor, Smitty. — YUR
The thought of a Jumble movie is interesting. For a while, Hallmark did have a series called The Crossword Murders…or something close to that. So, the guys might could be on the big screen one day. Great covid movie pic Unc. LL
