How to solve today’s Jumble

Rearrange each scrambled word into a real English word. Certain letter positions are circled; collect those letters and unscramble them into the final answer, using the cartoon and its caption as the clue. The caption usually contains a pun that the answer completes.

Jumble tips for tomorrow

  • Look for common endings. If the scramble contains E and D, try putting -ED at the end. ING, ER and LY are also common.
  • Pair the consonants. Group letters that commonly sit together, like TH, CH, ST and PR, and build around them.
  • Use the cartoon. The final answer is always a pun on the picture. Read the caption twice before unscrambling.
