IFKEN = KNIFE
LONEV = NOVEL
CUROGH = GROUCH
RAVICA = CAVIAR
CARTOON ANSWER:
KIENOEGRHCVA = REEKING HAVOC
Good morning everyone! CAVIAR was the word that stumped me the most. I’ve served it as an appetizer during Thanksgiving twice and always found it fishy. Perhaps I wasn’t experiencing the “good stuff”. After solving all the clue words the cartoon answer was rather easy. HAVOC appeared first and REEKING was obvious. Have a great Thursday my friends and I’ll see you tomorrow. 😀

Got the words, but not the answer.Thanks Mike.
You’re welcome 😀
I found this puzzle a little challenging. Got the first two words right away, but had to work a little to get the other two words and the an the answer.
No problem with the words — couldn’t get the answer.
The words all came easily, while the puzzle took a bit of time. Finally got it, though!
Great job, John! 👍🏻
Grouch stumped me for a minute or so. The answer was more difficult. Thought first word probably ended in “Ing” and then had to REALLY STUDY the puzzle to come up with answer.
I found HAVOC right away since the clue letter layout had HCVA right at the end of it. KIENOEGR(HCVA)
I had no trouble getting the words but could not get the answer.
