All of today’s clue words are already on the ralis95 clue word database.  So, I guess what David L. Hoyt said is true.  We are approaching the limits of five and six letter words that can only be one word.  All of the jumbles appear to be new though.  The answer letter layout made for a nice eight letter jumble.
