(An indirect tribute to an NFL Hall of Fame, All-Time Great, New York Giants player, a consummate professional sports commentator, and a loving husband and father, who passed away this week at the age of 84.  A charming man, who lived a charmed life.  So many of us will long carry fond memories of this remarkable man.  Rest in peace, Giff.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Answer:  PICTURE PERFECT

(Not bad.  No new clue words today.  Except for “citant” all of the jumbles came up as new, for me.  I thought that the jumble for “celery” was fairly challenging.  I wasn’t crazy about today’s answer letter layout.  Starting out with ICUR gave me PICTURE, right away!  Cute cartoon.  Taking photos, when it comes to kids, is always a chore.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  Rest In Peace, Frank Gifford!  You were an all-time great player, a fine announcer, and a truly class act!  A great ambassador for the New York Giants and the NFL!   —   YUR
