Clue/Question: The shop that sold cakes, pies, cookies, etc. in Stockholm was a – – –
Pre-Answer: Two Words (8-letters) (6-letters)
Answer: “SWEETISH“ BAKERY
(Okay. How many of you were like me, and said: what the heck is a kanelbulle? Unless you’re related to Rose Nylund, of “The Golden Girls”, you probably didn’t have a clue either. Thank goodness for the magic of Google! From there you probably found out that they’re what most of us call cinnamon rolls! I loves me a good cinnamon roll! Or two, or three. Probably why I’m a Type 2 Diabetic!
Shocker of all shockers! David L. Hoyt has dropped on us a new clue word today, in “untuck”. As much as I dislike UN words, I had no trouble coming up with this word. All of the jumbles, with the exception of “sewbot”, came up as new. I must have been in the groove, as none of them tripped me up today. The answer letter layout formed a fantastic fourteen letter jumble. Nothing really jumps out at you. But with Stockholm in the clue/question, and the quotation marks surrounding the first final answer slots, I knew that it had to be a play on Swedish. And, the cartoon made it very obvious that they were in a BAKERY.
Very tasty bakery scene cartoon. I’ll take Jeff’s word that that’s what the Stockholm skyline looks like. Eh! No, I won’t! I was going to give you a picture of Rose, but I’m giving you Stockholm instead. Like it? Looks beautiful, to me! Now run out and buy some kanelbulles! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
