WELCOME TO GUEST
JUMBLER WEEK 2025

CLUBhouse Special

Guest Jumbler Week opens today with Jonathan Lemon, the British cartoonist who has been running the Alley Oop comic strip since 2019. The strip shares its name with its main character, a caveman who travels through time and has a talent for getting into wild situations. Today’s cartoon is exactly that. Oop is riding a dinosaur like it’s just another Monday, holding a piece of bread in one hand and his club in the other. Oop has a funny idea of what grabbing a quick bite looks like!

🧠 Final Solve 🧠

The layout for the final solve was a twelve letter scramble that would arrange into a layout of 4 + 8. This one went down easy. The cartoon did all the heavy lifting, and once I spotted the bread in one hand and the club in the other everything fell neatly into place. It was so easy a caveman could… well, you get the idea.
