DEYEEHSPLA = SLEEPY HEAD

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday!  If you had trouble with just one word this morning, my guess is that it was WHOOSH.  It caused me to dust off my trusty notepad and pen to do a little self-jumbling myself.  Coupling the O’s together did the trick and then I could finally treat myself to the cartoon!  Jeff is wasting no time getting into the Halloween spirit with a wonderful drawing of the Headless Horseman from author Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”.  Reading the dialogue and sentence, we learn that ol’ pumpkin head has just arrived home after a long day of terrorizing the locals.  I wasn’t able to blind solve this creepy cartoon, so I relied on the letter layout as well as the key words of tired and exhausting to help me gallop across the finish line.  The E’s were grouped together which allowed me to see SLEEP right away leaving the rest of the answer to flow naturally.  Have a thrilling Thursday and I’ll see you tomorrow!  🎃
