Jumble Spoiler – 10/07/20

Visual Description:  A room with a view.

LIVAL  =  VILLA,  GLTIH  =  LIGHT,  GENUHO  =  ENOUGH,  PMCASU  =  CAMPUS   —   Giving us:  VLEOCA

Clue/Question:  They wanted a better view of the small inlet from their home, so they built an – – –

Answer:  ALCOVE

(Of course, I got the answer right away.  But, there is something a little off with it.  The way the clue/question uses the word “inlet”, and the woman’s dialog uses the words “little bay” suggests the word COVE, and not an ALCOVE.  A little misdirection???  The little addition they’re building could be considered a nook, as in a breakfast nook, but that’s not really what I think of when I hear the word ALCOVE.  All the synonyms for the word are freestanding structures, not additions.  Like I said, I got it, and I do get it, but I don’t really dig it.

All of today’s clue words are familiar old friends.  Three of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve definitely seen “lival” in the past.  The answer letter layout was a swell little six letter jumble, that was not obvious!

Terrific cartoon of a happy young couple improving the value of their home.  I hope they’ll enjoy the view of their little cove for years to come.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
