CARTOON ANSWER:

THE LANDLORD REDUCED THE YOUNG COUPLES RENT, SAYING IT WAS THE —

SCOADOEDEULL = “LEASE” SHE COULD DO

Good morning and happy Friday!!!  The weekend is so close and our family has some fun things planned so let’s get right to business.  GENDER was the only clue word to give me some hesitation today and would be my pick for the most difficult anagram.  I don’t recall seeing it in a Jumble before so it was a refreshing addition by Mr. Hoyt.  The cartoon was more on the serious side featuring a very happy couple getting ready to sign a lease agreement with their new landlady.  She made the couple a very generous offer of half off the rent because the male half is in the military and her husband is a veteran.  The expecting couple will be able to afford to dwell well in the spacious abode with it’s large front window and cozy fireplace.  After reading the sentence, and with SHE being given to us, COULD DO instantly came to mind.  Writing out my letters, LEASE was a quick solve for the finish leaving this feel good cartoon completed.  Have a fantastic Friday and I’ll see you tomorrow!  🙂
