Clue/Question: To him, the barber one floor up from the mattress store was – – –
Pre-Answer: Five Words (1-letter) (3-letters) (5-letters) THE (4-letters)
Answer: A CUT ABOVE THE REST
(I would call this Jumble answer one of the rare double puns! Maybe even a triple! Hey, you’d be getting a hair-cut, and because it’s one floor up it’s automatically above something, and that it’s above a mattress store goes to the rest! One of the most original, and entertaining, Jumbles in quite a while. Whether it was from the mind of our pal, David L. Hoyt, or from a reader’s suggestion, someone deserves a round of applause!
Every single clue word is already on the ralis95 clue word database. However, all six jumbles are coming up as new, for me. The only one I struggled with was “cruihn”. I inadvertently backed into it, as I saw the final answer from the first eleven letters, and knew I needed the R and C. I knew that it wasn’t UNRICH! The answer letter layout was a tremendous thirteen letter jumble. Terrifically cryptic. The layout of the final answer slots cued me into things.

I enjoyed this one Unc! 😆. Triple threat of a puns…. I have a feeling Hoyt thought up this one, as you pointed out. 🧠. He seems to be “thinker” of the dynamic duo. The intelligent quiet 🤐 guys like David continue to impress dummies like me.
Speaking of dummies, the folks over there 👉 guessed 13 times y”day with 6 coming from their figure head 🙋🏻♀️. We all know that JJ is in charge now! 🤥 oops. No wonder they get 59k unique visitors each day! 🤥 🤥 👖 🔥
Can we smoke 💨 a peace pipe soon? I don’t like the in-fighting amongst the groups! We all have a common bond in The Jumble ™️. Jeff, if you read this please respond. 💕
Best,

Don’t count on it, Smitty. Not unless you stop commenting on their site. And even then, I just don’t think he’s interested in this site anymore. Hasn’t been in quite some time. Whatevs! LOL! — YUR
Oh well. I tried. At least we know Angela 🙋🏻♀️ visits every day. Shhhhh. It’s a secret.
Enjoy your time off! 🍸
