Clue/Question:  The dinosaur that knew a lot of synonyms was a – – –

Answer:  “THESAURUS“ REX

(An excellent, silly, stinky pun!  A  madcap Mesozoic Era masterpiece.  But the joke is on “Jurassic Park”, as both Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus Rex lived in the Late Cretaceous period, and not in the Jurassic period.  What was Michael Crichton thinking?  LOL!  He must have had his reasons.  The man was a genius!  I’ve actually read a number of his books.  And a number of his books have been made into movies.

All four clue words are on the ralis95 clue word database.  Two of the jumbles are coming up as new for me.  But we’ve definitely seen both “guhla” and “secacs” in previous Jumbles.  I didn’t think any of them were very tough.  The answer letter layout was a terrific twelve letter jumble.  By itself I don’t think there was anything obvious about it.  The cartoon, its dialog, and the quotation marks in the final answer slots were the big clues for me.

Really fun cartoon.  The two main characters are actually cute.  I guess a T-Rex and a Triceratops could be friends.  Tri-tops were vegetarians, but they had great natural defenses against meat eaters like T-Rex.  I liked the smoking volcano in the distance, with Pterodactyls flying by, and some kind of Brontosaurus eating leaves off a tree.  Great stuff, Jeff!  Fun Jumble.  Have I told you guys lately that I love you guys?  Because I do.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
