YALBW = BYLAW
FARET = AFTER
LOBYDL = BOLDLY
SEEMSA = SESAME
CARTOON ANSWER:
BLAFERBODSSE = SELF ABSORBED
Good morning everyone and HAPPY FRIDAY (TGIF)! What a stumper of a puzzle did I wake up to?! I had a great degree of difficulty with this one and here is my blogversation: I was tripped up on BYLAW, BOLDLY and SESAME. Brilliant letter jumbling by David L. Hoyt! After I FINALLY figured out the clue words, the cartoon led me to believe it would equate to a SpongeBob SquarePants reference. Jeff Knurek gave NOTHING away in the cartoon and I couldn’t have been more pleased. After doing some jumbling of the letters on my trusty notepad, I found SELF. ABSORBED came shortly thereafter for a terrific end to a relatively easy week of puzzles. Here’s hoping the Saturday and Sunday puzzles are just as challenging as I dislike “breezing” my way though them.
I recently watched a YouTube video by David and Jeff and noticed that there was a coffee mug in them that is the same one as in the Jumble cartoons. I sent both of them a tweet and discovered that you can actually BUY one. I purchased one this evening and encourage everyone to consider doing so as well. Show your JUMBLE PRIDE and support the puzzle we ❤️. Here’s the link if you’re interested: http://www.cafepress.com/ilovejumble
Have a great weekend and let me know if you have any big plans in the comments section (or if you ordered a mug like I did)!
Agree. A tough one. I got the answer after solving the first three words, but “sesame” took some time.
Hi Lee! SESAME was the hardest word for me as well. Overall great puzzle. 😀
I ordered two cups for Christmas presents.
Wow that’s a great idea — Christmas will be here before we know it! I ordered the larger mug. Which one did you choose?
I was really upset with myself as I let BYLAW give me trouble. I completely forgot my rule of always looking for words in a word and really felt that BYLAW should not have caused me extra time, however, it did. I got the answer easily after figuring out that the word was BYLAW.
You did better than I did with the puzzle today! It took me quite awhile to figure it out. Have a great weekend Sue and, as always, thank you for sharing. 😊
I figured out puzzle before unsrambling the words,, Bylaw took a while to unscramble,.,. Good one!!
Wow, awesome job Mary!!! 👍🏻
