Clue/Question: When she saw that they were out of the drops she was looking for, it was – – –
Pre-Answer: Five Words (1-letter) “(4-letters)” (3-letters) (4-letters) (4-letters)
Answer: A “SIGH“ FOR SORE EYES
(All she could do was sigh! I don’t think she could produce any tears. I hate it when I get dry scratchy eyes. They look like crap and they feel like crap. They always tell you not to rub your eyes, but sometimes that’s all you can do! I usually start my day with a warm wet compress, as I have a tear duct issue. A washcloth/facecloth does the trick.
None of today’s clue words are new. But I think that FEEBLE should be taken off of the list! The letters BEFELE can also spell BEFELL, which is the acceptable past tense of BEFALL. I thought that the jumble was a little obvious for BEFELL, but I was pretty sure it was a legit word. My initial answer letter layout started with FL instead of EE, but I picked up on the final answer pun right away. I realized I needed EE, and then I saw FEEBLE. I Googled BEFELL, and it came up as past tense of BEFALL, and as I typed this spoiler even WordPress accepted BEFELL, so I really think we need to reconsider/remove FEEBLE as a non-qualifying Jumble clue word! All of the jumbles came up as new for me though. And, the answer letter layout was a superlative sixteen letter jumble!
Fine cartoon of a shopper at the pharmacy counter. I hate when they’re out of what I really want/need! It makes you wonder: Why me??? Oh, well. She can always try a different drug store. Or, settle for the warm wet compress. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
