Hi Everyone ā
I thought this was harder than the usual Monday puzzle. Nuance took me a while, and I only got Piano easily because I remembered it.
Thanks for all the insights, Angela. The jokes in the voting box made me smile.
The name Ramones sounds familiar, but I don’t know anything about the group.
Good Morning, Caroline. Youāre welcome. The jokes in the voting box are Mikes doing though, not mine. NUANCE hasnāt been seen for a while, it last appeared in 2018. The others are from last year, and PIANO, that you mentioned was anagrammed exactly as is on February 23rd. https://tinyurl.com/yc5yvnrt As for the Ramones, if youād like to know about them, the 2 links Iāve included should cover the bases. Be well, Caroline…and stay safe 1ļøā£2ļøā£3ļøā£šš»āāļø
I agree with Caroline that this was harder than the usual Monday puzzle.Nuance gave me reason to pause,and oblong,took me even longer to solve,as I wanted to put the 2 o’s together as a double letter ‘o’ word.Being a math guy,I enjoyed the math reference.We’ve survived almost 3 months of self isolation,now needless rioting and looting,which is not protesting.We’re all hoping the new June month,and upcoming summer months will be better for us all.
Good morning. Enjoyed it especially today because it wasnāt our typical Monday jumble. My choice for hardest word is Nuance. To be honest, I looked it up after a long period of time. The cartoon answer was a pleasure to get because I presumed (not assumed)we all know why, that the first word was And and that the second word would end in ING. The leftover letters filled in the rest of that word. Even though I didnāt get it 100% Iām satisfied how I worked the rest of it out. Until tomorrow stay well.
Hi all – After thinking āgo paddle a CANNEUā, I wrote down the letters and then saw NUANCE. Got the answer from the dialog and letter layout.
Thanks for the details, Angela. Looking at the black and white picture online, I mistook the xylophone for an iPhone for a minute and was worried about the stick next to it. Also for the Ramones info. I knew about them and a couple of songs, but not much more than that and nothing about the T-shirt. Had to laugh at the line in the link āOverall, they’ve sold more shirts than albumsā and I guess Iād call them a punk band rather than rock.
Good wishes to everyone.
Hi Steve. YW. And I had to chuckle at that line too. I guess itās because the shirts are still selling pretty well today…Amazon, Walmart, etc….while I donāt think their music is. I have the album, but my Uncle that Iāve spoken about, the artist, who passed away leaving a treasure trove of stuff, had the original shirt. He left it to one of my cousins…who still wears it till today. Itās a cool shirt. As for their designation, as the bio reads, they were a punk rock band..6 of one, 1/2 dozen of the other…depends what youāre listening to…Be well, Steve, stay safe…1ļøā£2ļøā£3ļøā£šš»āāļø
Another vote here for nuance. Cartoon answer fell into place without problem. Iām grateful that my children are grown and I havenāt had to āhome schoolā them. My next door neighbor teaches first grade and she said this last few months have been the most difficult of her teaching career. Wishing all of you a good Monday.

With todays solution being as easy as 1-2-3, Iām just taking a moment to count the little gems in the cartoon for you. Depicting a very common scene today…schooling and working from home…resulting in the āwhy bother getting dressed-Iām attached to my sweatsā syndrome affecting many young parents, we see a couple, with their infant son. Thereās a toy stuffed elephant, a toy xylophone and two alphabet blocks. One, with the letters J And D, most likely stands for Jeff and David. The other, reading H, Y, F? Your guess is as good as mine. And itās funny that as Jrās counting 1-2-3, heās holding up his fingers as children do….only as a cartoon figure…he only has the three! And while Momās teaching him his numbers, dressed in a familiar Wilco T-shirt, itās Dad who takes center stage today. Off to his home office, unshaven, disheveled, and holding a steaming cup of coffee in his I ā¤ļøJumble mug, itās his shirt that counts as todays piĆØce de rĆ©sistance. In what may be its Jumble debut, the iconic, vintage Ramoneās Presidential Seal T-Shirt is featured. And while it may be well known to many of us music aficionados, hereās a little background for those of you who may not be familiar with it, https://tinyurl.com/ycnlbd2e and/or the Ramones. https://tinyurl.com/ul546wc Iām not sure if Iāve ever seen the band members names written in the order Jeffās done here, with Joeys name leading off, but itās still an unmistakable likeness to those who know. And of course it explains my song choice…the famous lyrics inscribed on the banner held in the eagles beak. Itās a great old T-Shirt, highlighting a great old rock band.
