Pre-Answer: Three Words (5-letters) (4-letters) (5-letters)
Answer: UNDER DOWN UNDER
(One of the easiest Sunday Jumbles in a very long time. At least for me. It’s a decent stinky pun, but it also sounds like a repeat, or derivative of an older Jumble. We’ve had various DOWN UNDER answers in the past. Either/any way I’m sure that this one came with all new artwork!
All six clue words are on the ralis95 clue word database. Five of the jumbles are coming up as new, for me. They’ve definitely used “tnytie” some time in the past. All the clue words came to me instantly. The answer letter layout was a forceless – Scrabble word – fourteen letter jumble. It was cryptic enough, but the final answer was pretty obvious with the U’s, the N’s and the D’s.
Great cartoon of the diving expedition for the tourists. The dive boat is flying the Australian flag. Jeff’s given us some fishies, some coral and a sea turtle. And, below the woman diver’s legs, you can see the wreckage of a classic sunken sailboat! I wonder . . . are there belligerent ultra-nationalist Aussies, that love to chant: Aus-tra-lia!, Aus-tra-lia!, Aus-tra-lia!? If so, would they be called . . . dingo-istic? Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
