Clue/Question:  She offered the plumber soup that was – – –

Answer:  PIPING HOT

(Okay.  It works.  But, I’m not so sure about today’s new clue word, “potpie”.  You all know I’m not the biggest fan of compound words, but when I look it up online I see it both as a single word, and as broken down to the two words . . . that it is!  Hmm!  I would urge ralis95 to proceed carefully, before adding it to his world famous clue word database.  FWIW, I had to back into it.  I thought maybe my newspaper had made a mistake!  All of today’s jumbles came up as new.  The answer letter layout was another fine jumble.  The cartoon is great, with the plumber’s monkey wrench, acetylene torch, and crack-of-the-butt.  I think that’s almost a kind of uniform for them!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
