Jumble Spoiler – 03/31/22

Visual Description:  Dessert.  Better late than never?

CALOK  =  CLOAK,  BILIA  =  ALIBI,  SIYETF  =  FEISTY,  EARPAP  =  APPEAR   —   Giving us:  COIIFEPPE

Clue/Question:  The number 3.141 is just a – – –

Answer:  PIECE OF THE PI

(A little more than two and 1/2 weeks late, but just made it within the month of March!  A stinky pun delayed is a stinky pun . . . delayed.  Fresh or stale, it still stinks!  I think the guys had this one ready for March the 14th, but figured it was just too predictable.  So, they set aside, allowed it to marinate a bit, then said:  Hey, what the heck!  We might as well use this.  Look at it this way, guys and gals, it’s kind of a way to set up tomorrow’s April Fool’s Day Jumble!  Maybe we’ll get a Jumble with a Thanksgiving or Christmas theme!  LOL!

Of course all of the clue words are familiar old friends.  Even “bilia” and “earpap” are familiar jumbles.  Only “calok” and “siyetf” are coming up as new, for me.  All fine jumbles though.  The answer letter layout was nifty nine letter jumble.  But the totality of cartoon, its dialog, and the clue/question made getting this answer easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Great cartoon of a pie shop!  There’s the pumpkin pie that she’s measuring.  I would just guestimate!  Then there’s what looks like a lemon meringue pie, maybe a deep dish apple pie, either another pumpkin pie or perhaps a sweet-potato pie, and then one that could be some kind of berry pie, like cherry or blueberry.   Is March National Pie month?  It should be.  Fun Jumble!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
