Answer: LAND A NEW JOB
(This should have been as clear as the nose on my face, but I did not see it for a while. I did know that one of the words was A! Pure genius! But, I was thinking that the first word was either DOWN or BLOW. Of course those words didn’t leave me much to work with. Eventually, my pea-brain said: Hey! Wait a minute. There’s a J out there! How many relevant words would be using a J? So, I smacked my forehead, and figured out JOB. Remember, I still knew the single letter word was A. So, I took EDLWNNA and was finally able to see LAND and NEW. No. I’m not too proud to admit it when I’m not on my A game.
There were no new clue words today, but three of the jumbles came up as new, for me. We have definitely seen “beata” before. I have known one Beata in my lifetime. I have to credit the answer letter layout with keeping me in the dark for a while. It was a beautifully cryptic jumble. And, I didn’t find anything obvious about it. Fine cartoon. Clearly, the jet airplane had landed, but apparently that wasn’t enough of a clue for me. Do you think today’s Jumble was designed to be a little less obvious? Or, do you think it was just me? Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
