![]() I guess you could say that he missed his window of opportunity to sway the case in his favor. The defendant has a look of defeat in his facial expression as well as in his body language and his dialogue in the form of a question added a touch of comedic relief to the courtroom drama that just unfolded. Talk about a real pane in the glass!!! The judge has seen enough of the plaintiffs case and immediately rules in their favor. It finally occurred to me that the glass panels of the window swivel left to right instead of going up and down. Since the online version of the puzzle wasn’t available this morning, I had to take a few extra seconds to figure out exactly what the problem was. The woman on the left can be seen pointing her right hand at the window while stating in her dialogue that the problem with the window is obvious. Looking at the panel, we see three Jumble characters in the frame with a window on the witness stand. Jumble artist, Jeff Knurek, decided to keep the courtroom theme going for one more day in his midweek cartoon offering. Since they all came easily, I’ll leave a poll down below where you can vote for the most difficult anagram of the day. ![]() We last saw it in gameplay on 9/15/16 where it was scrambled as FARDT. They were all used last year with the exception being DRAFT. Happy Wednesday, everyone! Today’s game featured all recycled clue words that didn’t take any time to decipher. The -ED suffix was tacked onto MIND to complete our midweek puzzle and the result was a cleverly crafted finish.THE COURT CASE AGAINST THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAULTY WINDOWS WAS – – – MIND came into view first, leaving CLOSE to be found in the remaining letters. The android was insisting that his operating system was functioning perfectly and was rejecting the offer of a “new brain”. The key for my solve was in the dialogue exchange between the scientist and android. ![]() The layout was cryptic and gave absolutely nothing away. The final solve has been increasing by 1-letter since Monday, so today we find ourselves at eleven. An android must always be in human form and be able to pass as a human in natural light. A robot can have some human attributes (think arms, head, chest, and feet) but it’s not required to have them all. In case you’re not sure what the difference is between the two, I’d be happy to clue you in. In Jeff’s panel, he chose to identify his character as an android and not a robot. The implant functions as a central processing unit that would provide robots with a consciousness recognizable to humans. Asimov, in effect, added a fictional contemporary spin on an actual scientific discovery. Positronic was named after the newly discovered positron particle discovered by Carl D. This fictitious technological device was popularized by science fiction writer Isaac Asimov in the early 1940’s. The scientist, dressed in a lab coat, safety goggles, hairnet and booties, can be seen holding what the cartoon sentence describes as a positronic brain. Today’s cartoon transports us to a laboratory where Jumble cartoonist, Jeff Knurek, offers us a glimpse of a hardware upgrade that is about to be installed in an android. After finishing up the solves, I noticed that David arranged the answers in reverse alphabetical order as a final surprise. Of the group, CLENCH was the only one to give my puny human brain a moment of hesitation so it’ll be my pick for the most difficult anagram of the day. RIVER was much easier to locate since it was used a little over a year ago on 5/22/18. He’s kept HIDDEN out of the spotlight for quite some time and I had to search back to 9/21/14 to uncover it. They don’t call him “The Man Who Puzzles America” for nothing, folks! Both MOSSY and CLENCH are coming up as new, leaving RIVER and HIDDEN to greet us once again. ![]() Hoyt, had exhausted his list of never before seen clue words, he surprises us this morning with not one, but TWO brand new baddies. Happy Wednesday, everyone! Just when you thought Jumble Genius, David L. WHEN IT CAME TO HAVING HIS POSITRONIC BRAIN REPLACED, THE ANDROID WAS – – –
