Pre-Answer: Two Words “(5-letters)-(4-letters)” (5-letters)
Answer: “ACHOO–CHOO“ TRAIN
(I’d say that this is a good stinky pun, but my nose is so stuffed up . . . that I can’t smell a thing! JKLOL! Well, it didn’t take a genius to figure this one out. If anything, it took someone with a small child’s mentality. And, that’s yer Uncle Rave! Cute pun!
None of today’s clue words are new, however five of the six jumbles appear to be so. I can vouch that they’ve definitely used “fisyth” before. The answer letter layout was a pretty good jumble. It might have been a little more challenging if they could have broken up the the HH and the OO a little more. But, it wasn’t super obvious.
The cartoon is great, of course. A little ironic that the Missus and I watched “Murder on the Orient Express” last night, on HBO. It was okay. I’d never read the book before, and I hadn’t seen the 1974 film version. Both film versions had all-star casts, although I’d have to give the nod to the 1974 one. I just thought that the crime’s conclusion was very contrived, and not very believable. Maybe, the story played better in 1934, when it was published, but I was disappointed. Good performances though. I was particularly impressed with Josh Gad’s McQueen. He’s only in his 30s, and is known for comedies, but he was good in a dramatic role. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, folks. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
