Clue/Question: The Dragons’ quick tempered teenage daughter was a – – –
Answer: SPITFIRE
(I think either the Clue/Question, or the Answer, should have included the word REAL. As in: YER A REAL SPITFIRE, AIN’T CHA? Maybe, the guys figured if it was in the clue/question then the final answer would’ve been more obvious? I dunno. I just solves ’em, and critiques ’em. And, not everybody appreciates my critiques. The guys never complain about it, so I’m not going to worry about comments from the peanut gallery. Mmm, peanuts! . . . I’ll be right back!
Okay, peanut break is over. Where were we? Oh. No new clue words today. However, all four of today’s jumbles are coming up as new. I thought both “rmuof” and “pkeyr” were fairly challenging. I saw the six letter clue words right away. The answer letter layout was a great eight letter jumble. Very nicely cryptic. I think the cartoon daughter dragon gave it away, for me.
The cartoon is hilarious! The dad dragon is all straight laced, with a collar and tie. Mom looks suitably frumpy. And, the daughter dragon looks all punky – not to be confused with perky – with her studded collar, a nose ring, and her sorta Mohawk haircut! And of course, she is literally spitting fire! And, they all have smoke coming out of their noses! The guys definitely deserve an A+ for today’s Jumble. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
