Jumble Spoiler – 08/27/21

Visual Description:  Double hitch!

LDUEE  =  ELUDE,  BREET  =  BERET,  DFAERO  =  FEDORA,  INCORI  =  IRONIC   —   Giving us:  EDBEDAIRI

Clue/Question:  She suggested that they get married on horseback, and he thought it was a – – –

Answer:  “BRIDE“ IDEA

(At the very least a bride-to-be idea!  Yeah, this is a cute pun.  I wonder if the entire bridal party is going to be on horseback too?  That could be fun.  The person carrying the bridal gown train would have to watch her step though!

There were no new clue words today.  However, all of today’s jumbles appear to be new.  For some strange reason, I originally wrote down FORADE!  I guess I was thinking it had to do with FORAY, or something.  But as I looked at the nine letter jumble, that was the answer letter layout, I quickly reassessed that decision.  I don’t know why FEDORA didn’t come to me right away.  It’s one of Hoyt’s favorite clue words!  The quotation marks were a big clue to getting the final answer.

Cute horsey/ranch cartoon.  I was a little surprised they were at the “Scramble Ranch”, and not the Jumble Ranch.  But I guess they just wanted to mix things up a bit.  Have a great weekend everyone!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Visual Description:  Communal camping.

OYMAF  =  FOAMY,  PENTI  =  INEPT,  TBREET  =  BETTER,  DTAUSJ  =  ADJUST   —   Giving us:  FAMINEETTEDST

Clue/Question:  They were able to set up at the campground after paying an – – – 

Answer:  “ADMIT–TENTS“ FEE

(Sorry about the delay.  Strange day, indeed.  This Jumble qualifies as a real groaner of a pun.  No new clue words today, but three of the jumbles came up as new.  They’ve used “penti” before.  The answer letter layout was an excellent jumble!  It looks like a few of you struggled some to get the answer, because of it.  I like all the pup-tents in the cartoon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
