Jumble Spoiler – 05/29/21

Visual Description:  Keyboard convo.

ALYNM  =  MANLY,  CABHE  =  BEACH,  FYLOST  =  SOFTLY,  VOLIJA  =  JOVIAL   —   Giving us:  MNEHOTJI

Clue/Question:  The hyphen could see the person typing words and was anxious to – – –

Answer:  JOIN THEM

(I think the hyphen should be happy he’s NOT the Caret symbol!  That’s probably one of the least used keys, on my keyboard at least.  That and the Tilde and Acute/left quote key.  Whenever I use single quotes I always open and close with the lower case one with the double quote key.  Y’all know I hunt and peck, right?  I took typing in high school, but only so much of it resonated with me.  I was never much for . . . using the force!

All familiar old clue words today.  I can hardly wait to see what scenario Ken is going to work up with these words!  Two of the jumbles are coming up as new.  However, we’ve assuredly seen both “cabhe” and “volija” in past Jumbles.  The answer letter layout was a snappy eight letter jumble.  More than adequately cryptic!

Fine cartoon of a semi–anthropomorphic keyboard.  Look kids!  I was able to use the hyphen!  Looks like the typist could use a shave.  So could I, for that matter.  So, I guess I better wrap things up.  Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend, folks.  Bear in mind the sacrifice that so many of our military personnel have made for our country.  Try to show some appreciation for that.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
