Jumble Spoiler – 12/07/21

Visual Description:  TOO LATE!

CEETJ  =  EJECT,  TMHAC  =  MATCH,  BRAYCB  =  CRABBY,  DONOEL  =  NOODLE   —   Giving us:  EECMTHCRANOE

Clue/Question:  He wanted to change the channel to watch the game but didn’t have a – – –

Answer:  REMOTE  CHANCE

(Nope!  The elder female – wife/mom? – is in control of that!  A great stinky pun.  And, so much better than my first option of METEOR CHANCE.  That’s what I first came up with after looking at EMTROE.  It’s a good thing I knew that that couldn’t be the answer.

No new clue words today.  Three of the jumbles are coming up as new for me, but we’ve definitely seen “ceetj” in earlier Jumbles.  I didn’t struggle with any of them today.  I seem to be getting more CRABBY everyday!  The answer letter layout was a terrific twelve letter jumble.  Very nicely cryptic.

Fine cartoon of a family competing for television time.  It looks to me like the cards are stacked against this guy.  He’d be better off finding a good sports bar.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
