Good Morning, Everyone…🔀 YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN! 🔀
🎶Come on everybody…I say now let’s play a game…🎶 “The Name Game” – Shirley Ellis 1964 https://tinyurl.com/9urau8az
🔀 Our David loves these school cartoons, he’s big on education,
No FIDDLE-faddle with learning…he started a foundation* …
And here today no MYSTIC thoughts the message cut and dry,
There’s ways to EASILY be taught…as long as teachers try…
Kids LOOSEN up and grasp so much when learning’s mixed with play,
(And ALPACA and ENGINE I’ll save for another day)…
The lesson being taught today? It’s no matter what the “name”…
There’s words that can be interchanged…ESSENTIALLY THE SAME!🔀
Over the years, I’ve LEARNed to love these grade school classroom puzzles…and today’s? With this theme? …There are no WORDS!
So…just like yesterday’s puzzle, there’s not much I can ADD to this today. It’s pretty much SPELT out for us…The lesson? Just as our teacher is saying…”You can chose any one” of the synonyms featured…because they all mean…ESSENTIALLY THE SAME! https://tinyurl.com/ynycajp6 And class dismissed!
So…There you have it Folks…Done. Be well, be kind, stay safe…and this puzzle reminds me of the time I bought a THESAURUS …only to get it home and discover that all the pages were BLANK…I’ve NO WORDS to describe how upset I was…🔠🙋🏻♀️

♥️ The stuffed ALPACA playing the FIDDLE, that she had EASILY won at MYSTIC Seaport, was like the little ENGINE that could…torn and battered over the years and yet it still didn’t LOOSEN its grip on her heart…to her it was ESSENTIALLY THE SAME as the first day she got it…♥️
🦙 There was something rather MYSTIC ‘bout the story she had read,
An ALPACA who was uptight since he’d been born and bred…
He’d FIDDLE ‘round with silly things, he couldn’t LOOSEN up,
Spent hours on a search ENGINE…such odd behavior…yup
He could have lived life EASILY…maybe even found fame…
Instead of day in/day out stay ESSENTIALLY THE SAME! 🦙
🔠 When with children you’re trying to teach,
Rules of writing, word usage and speech…
There’s such joy you can get,
When you see that you’ve set…
Ways of remembering in their reach…🔠
➕Synonym usage can be such fun,
Getting numerous meanings from one…
Particular word,
‘Cause there’s nothing absurd…
‘Bout learning how word usage’s spun! ➕
👧🏻 Little children here…maybe Grade 3,
Being taught about “essentially”…
And the questions arise,
To the children’s surprise…
That there’s more to it…basically! 👦🏻
🔠 Good vocabulary, yes it’s the key,
To help writing skills bloom like a tree…
And the further it goes,
As a child’s mind grows…
Is today’s topic…essentially! 🔠
👏🏻👏🏻 Hopefully these kids find words are fun,
As their mastering of them’s begun…
And if luck plays a hand,
I think it’d be grand…
If these kids learn to love a good pun! 👏🏻👏🏻
While tackling the Jumble, saw the very prominent last word SAME….then Marsha jumped in with the essential first word. Great job !! I finished up with anagrams…had to think a few extra moments on MYSTIC.
Talking about words….is it “spelt” or “spelled” as a past tense??
Could spend the rest of the day singing/dancing to The Banana song…some kind of fun !!!
Spelled – Spelt…boils down to location, location, location! 😉And the song’s stuck in my head too! Have a good one, Terry. 🔀🙋🏻♀️
Good morning Angela. Good catch on the “is” vs. “are”. I think there’s sort of another “blooper”. I was surprised to see that 66% of people who took the poll so far did not have trouble with any of the answers. Thought it would be lower. Then I realized that the today’s poll left out the solution to the cartoon, as one of the choices. 🙂 Have a great day!
Good Morning, Brad. Tk you…And yes, I told Mike about the poll…he’ll be adding the solve choice in. Wishing you a great day, too. 🙋🏻♀️
Good morning. Had a brain freeze on Mystic. But was successful after time to get the cartoon answer. After awhile I took out the letters for Same being the last word and LY for the end of the first which left me with 9 letters. Finally came up with essential for the remaining letters. Love the song but still have trouble trying to sing along with it. Until tomorrow stay well and stay safe.
Good Morning, Paul. Glad you stuck with it! 👏🏻👏🏻..And you’re right…It can definitely be a tongue twister! I sing it with the kids…and some of the stuff that comes out of their mouths is hysterical! Have a good one…Be well and stay safe out there…🔠🙋🏻♀️
Loosen got me at first then I thought the cartoon solution was fundamentally the same rather than essentially the same!
It is all the same…😉…but fundamentally was already stated in the question! 🙋🏻♀️
My mistake I overlooked the word fundamentally already in the Jumble cartoon!Thanks for the clarification.
👍🏻YW! There were a lot of synonyms flying around! 😉🙋🏻♀️
Good puzzle this morning. I saw same so was able to fine essentially as well. It’s been a fun week. Have a good Sunday all!

I STAND WITH UKRAINE 💔🇺🇦
…AND I STAND FOR REFORM IN AMERICA 💔🇺🇸
…And yes, ironically, considering the theme of our puzzle, there’s a bit of a blooper with the last word in our question. It should be IS, not ARE…
