GETTING HER FIRST CUSTOMER AFTER OPENING HER OWN SALON FILLED THE STYLIST WITH – – –

Revealed

Today’s Jumble snips its way into the week with a wonderfully crisp and polished lineup, cutting cleanly from a quick diagonal slash and sweet fruit jelly to shiny metallic chrome and an unsteady wobble. The clue words give your morning routine a great conditioning, combing through sharp cuts, sweet spreads, glossy finishes, and unsteady balances before stepping right up to the styling chair for a salon-fresh pun. By playing on the professional cutting tool of the stylist's trade and the pure, unadulterated happiness of landing that landmark first client, the puzzle makes the cut with a sparkling punchline that proves opening your own business is always a cut above the rest! I’d rate the difficulty a cheerful 4.5 out of 5.

How to Play Jumble

Jumble is a word puzzle game where you unscramble a series of letters to form words and solve a final puzzle.

  • The Words: You get four sets of scrambled letters, and your goal is to unscramble each set to form a single, common word.
  • The Bonus Puzzle: After solving the four individual words, you'll use the letters from the circled spaces within those words to solve the final, longer bonus puzzle. A cartoon is also provided as a clue. The bonus puzzle often contains a pun or a play on words.
  • Color Clues: In the online version of the game, letters turn green to indicate they're in the correct position, which can help guide you as you unscramble the words.

You can play Jumble on their official website, fun.chicagotribune.com/game/tca-jumble-daily/, as there are multiple unofficial websites for it.
