🐈 Not wanting to be FOILED AGAIN, he STOOD and carefully read the label on the bottle of CATNIP he had bought…and as a GLAZE came over his eyes, he hoped he wouldn’t have a FINITE number of chances to get it to work…🐈
🎂 He was drawn to it like CATNIP, this GLAZE atop the cake, And STOOD and read the recipe before he’d start to bake… Details a little FINITE …so he scoured…one to ten… It had to come out perfectly…he’d not be FOILED AGAIN…🎂

🤺We have Fencing, known as combat sport, And we’ve fencers I’m here to report…. Need be fearless and tough, Not for those made of fluff… For one needs to know how to keep court…🤺
🗡️ And today we meet who I’ll call Tim, Read ‘bout fencing…had appeal to him… So he bought an épée, Figured that he’d hold sway… His proficiency though…looking slim…🗡️
🤷🏻♂️ Yes, always a sports lover he, There was those that just brought him ennui… So he thought he might fence, A sport with true defense… Which he felt he had…to a degree…🤷🏻♂️
⚔️ But he went up against a man, Brock, Who was built from some mighty fine stock… Had been fencing for years, Oft left his foils in tears… With his prowess as solid as rock…⚔️
🤦🏻♂️ And so once again today we see, Brock has brought our Tim down to his knees… Still not up to the task, Yes, again Tim’s unmasked… As the loser…that he’s shocked to be…🤦🏻♂️
The Jumble beat me with the anagram Catnip. I just couldn’t come up with it. I was able to get the cartoon solution with the letters that I had available. Sorry to hear that you’re still under the weather Angela. Hope you feel better soon. Thank you for taking the time to write your post.

And I was foiled again, too, this morning, as all I could think of was the last word….AGAIN. Finished up 4 scrambled words to find the correct solution. A little miffed that I missed an easy one. Anyway, enjoyed your cartoon clips, for sure. And on a personal note, Marsha wanted to know if we could all meet for a cup of coffee/drink with you while visiting NYC?? Thanks…Terry

Tks, Terry….And as for the invite…right now I’m in no position to make any plans. But thank you. 🤺🙋🏻♀️

hi I just wanted to tell you that today’s jumble had an error in it the word IMPACT Also works instead of catnip. Just so you know, let the folks that run this puzzle know that there was another word that they forgot about.

Take another look. IMPACT has the letter M in it. CATNIP obviously doesn’t… So, just so you know, David hasn’t forgotten about anything, and there is no error. 🙋🏻♀️

I just like the fencer in today’s puzzle,was “foiled again”. I thought catnip was a misspelled impact,and then was stumped by the cartoon as well. Chuck.

Hey Angela, I got the words and a blind solve. All pretty easy. Rest up 💤, feel better. Have some chicken noodle soup. 🐔 – Dave

No problems with today’s Jumble but only because I knew ‘foil’ had to do with fencing. I did have to look up what it actually meant. So not surprised to see the answer as the most difficult in the poll. Also, understand the commenter mistaking ‘inpact’ for ‘impact.’ Anyway, I always read this page everyday even though I don’t comment much. Thanks for doing this Angela and especially for the kids Jumble link on Sundays. I also always look for Jim’s comments. He is a very enthusiastic Jumbler and I like his positivity! Finally, The Beatles, always a good choice but “I’m a Loser Baby” by Beck also works!

CATNIP took a long time, even after I knew which letters I needed. It looks like is a theme today. The solve didn’t FOIL me, however.
The Beetles song was nice, although not well known (by me at least).

Nope. The anagrams were a breeze, but the answer caught me off guard rather than en garde like almost 44% of Jumblers.

Still SWORD of under the weather, so I’ll just get right to the POINT…
