Clue/Question:  Acorns turn into oak trees.  That’s the explanation – – –

Answer:  IN A NUTSHELL

(Warning:  This Jumble was produced in a facility that processes tree nuts!  Some people are so allergic to peanuts and other nuts these days, and it’s no joke.  Anaphylaxis can be deadly.  When I was growing up it was inconceivable to be so allergic to something as simple as a peanut.  Perhaps man’s evolution has peaked, and now we’re devolving???  It seems like all forms of tolerance these days are shrinking as well.  That could also be a sign of our decline.  At least scientists are working on making those allergic types more tolerant.  Once they get that down, maybe they could work on our other declining tolerances?

All of this day’s clue words were already on the ralis95 clue word database.  Two of the jumbles came up as new, but we’ve seen both “enhoy” and “plucts” sometime in the past.  The answer letter layout was a great eleven letter jumble.  Nothing about it was obvious.

Nice classroom cartoon.  It’s kind of hard to gauge the age of the students.  They might be middle schoolers.  I’ve always liked acorns.  They just look cool, and feel great in my hand.  And, they have great potential.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
