Jumble Solved – 12/26/22

Visual Description:  . . . valley so low!

AWETH  =  WHEAT,  YTSEL  =  STYLE,  GONLAO  =  LAGOON,  DROTEN  =  RODENT   —   Giving us:  WESTELONDT

Clue/Question:  They bought a home in the valley and were ready to – – –

Answer:  SETTLE DOWN

(Maybe these were former mountain folk!  Then they would really be settling for this down-low.  A very down to earth Jumble pun.  It looks like these folks have that pioneering spirit.  They have a little water wheel on the side of their cabin, so maybe they have a little gristmill for that wheat that they’ll be growing. 

We have seen all of these clue words in previous Jumbles.  But all four jumbles are coming up as new for me!  They all came to me immediately though.  The answer letter layout was a tidy ten letter jumble.  Absolutely nothing obvious about it.  The leading nature of the clue/question made for a very quick solve.

Really cute cartoon of the settlers.  A Ma and a Pa.  Although I don’t see any younguns!  Their days will be filled with a lot of work, but during their nights they’ll really have to get busy!  Hey, they are going to need more hands to make their farm work!  My newspaper was the e-edition only today, and the printout – as usual – is a little blurry.  Can anyone make out what the little sign above the door says?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
