Wow. Today we have TWO Jumbles, the current Jumble and the first one on 1954 June 7, or on D-Day + 1 + 10. The current Jumble, with its two Z’s, was easy to solve although at first some of us WERE PUZZLED. Another possible answer (ungrammatical) is WEED PUZZLER, as though I could get rid of the weeds in my yard by giving them a puzzle or a Jumble to solve. And what’s the 6/7 in the corner? Some Jumbles are tough enough to leave us at sixes and sevens. But of course that’s the date, although another way of saying today’s date is D+1 Day (+80). And 6×7 = 42, the answer to life, the Universe and all things PUZZLING. The Jumbles were easy to solve, but the third 1954 Jumble, FICHE, is itself a word, meaning a microfiche. Usually the jumbled words are not words themselves, although the word really means a million microfiches (micro- means a millionth, as in microsecond). I see in 1954 it was called SCRAMBLER; I imagined they changed this so it wouldn’t become GESG; i.e., eggs.

Scrambled eggs should be on our breakfast table, not in the newspaper.

I miss copied the letters from spruce so was lacking a u for puzzled despite having solved the cartoon, but after straightening that out it was a successful Friday jumble day! Chuck.

Done in 10 minutes. Spruce took me the longest today. Interesting to learn the Jumble was originally called the “Scramble” and began in 1954!

Good morning. I thought I completed everything even the post and when I checked I didn’t even have the answer. I was stuck and went on to other things. After awhile I was able to complete jumble even though it wasn’t a blind solve. Angela ..I got it… and enjoyed your song choice. Until tomorrow take care.
