(I believe the word is: RECIPROCITY.  The Dick Tracy people promoted our Jumble buddies, so now we’re in for a handful of Dick Tracy themed Jumbles.  Besides B.O. we also were treated to Sam Catchem, today.  Maybe later on we get Gravel Gertie, or some of the famous bad guys, like FlatTop or Pruneface!  My paper doesn’t carry Dick Tracy, so this is kind of a treat for me. 

All the clue words jumped off the page for me today.  I don’t think any of them are new, but I’ll leave that up to ralis95.  I liked the answer letter layout much better, today.  But, having a guy named B.O., hiding out in a laundromat, in a police/crime scenario . . . made the answer fairly obvious.  I hope that most of you out there are enjoying these as much as I am!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
