Today’s Jumble Answer (March 31, 2023)

Un-jumbling today’s Jumble!

Wordle might be the internet’s big new obsession but comic book artist Martin Naydel’s Jumble has been teasing the brains of puzzle game enthusiasts since 1954. Once known as Scramble, the goal is straightforward: unscramble four words, then use selected letters from those words to complete a bonus challenge. There’s also an illustration that goes with each puzzle, giving players another clue to the day’s bonus challenge. If you’re struggling with today’s Jumble, here’s the answer for March 31, 2023.

Best Ways to Solve Jumble Daily Word Puzzle

Before we dive into today’s answer, we’ve a few tips for players to help you work out how to approach the puzzles. While it’s often tempting to just stare at the letters in front of you and try to create words out of the image before you, there are actually a few tricks to work through to make decoding the Jumble much easier. These include:

  • Separate consonants and vowels – Pretty obvious one, but this simple step can make piecing together a scrambled word so much easier since one typically proceeds another or vice versa.
  • Look for common letter pairs – As in any language, there are common letter pairs in English that are found in hundreds of different words. Use this as a starting point. For example, ‘T’ and ‘H’ are obviously found in a vast number of different words. Also, consider that while two instances of the letter ‘O’ or ‘E’ or ‘L’ might be found next to each other in a word, ‘P’ and ‘Y’ probably won’t be.
  • Affixes – Try to spot prefixes and suffixes that are common in the English language. This would include pairings such as ‘auto’ or ‘circum’ or ‘de’ in the case of prefixes, and ‘ey’ or ‘ment’ in the case of a prefix.
  • Start small – Rather than trying to build out a long word to meet the criteria of the Jumble puzzle, start with smaller words and then work your way up. Not only do smaller words often feed into larger ones but moving your letters around into different arrangements also can help open your mind to different possibilities.
  • Last resort – Use a Jumble Solver (technically, it’s not cheating)
