ERCKE  =  CREEK,  CBKOL  =  BLOCK,  DEROTN  =  RODENT,  YAOENN  =  ANYONE   —   Giving us:  RELCRDEAYN

Clue/Question:  The new laundromat in the Sahara turned out to be a . . .

Answer:  DRY CLEANER
(Not bad!  The first two clue words were pretty simple.  And, I know we’ve seen “anyone” before, but with different scrambling.  And, “rodent” shouldn’t have been too hard to get, but it was.  At least for me it was!  I had to back into it.  Fortunately, the answer wasn’t very hard.  But, there was no give away in the layout of the answer letters.  Today’s Jumble gave me a kind of “Ishtar” feeling.  A movie that I – surprisingly? – never saw!  How many people would even admit to seeing that bomb?  Okay, kids.  Fill in the dot dot dot of the Visual Description.)   —   YUR
