Answer:  ZIP ALONG

(A great, stinky pun!  And, fairly challenging too!  I think hiding the word “zilch” in the middle of the N words, instead of after them, made me kind of forget that the word “zip” can mean nothing too.  I didn’t see it for a few minutes.  I was coming up with nada!  Eventually, the gears got rolling!

All four clue words are appearing on the world famous ralis95 clue word database!  Three of the jumbles are coming up as new though, with only “dallyg” having definitely been used  in an earlier Jumble.  The answer letter layout was a sleight eight letter jumble, but it did a good job of keeping me guessing.  I didn’t have to get to the point of writing the vowels and consonants out, separately, in alphabetical order, but it was sufficiently cryptic.

Great cartoon of some kindergartners playing an unusual game with a table top/whiteboard and some wooden/plastic numbers.  Little kids think differently!  But they learn things by trial and error.  We need to encourage kids to not be afraid to make mistakes.  Fine Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
