Word Jumble paragraphs that make sense day-to-day.
 

Let's each write our own stories using the 4 words from David Hoyt and Jeff Knurek's Jumble. Jumble is found in 600 newspapers so my guess is that most TOTVers would have access to the daily Word Jumble. If not, I will try to add the four words for each preceding day. Not sure about Sunday though as that might be a different game?


Starting on 1/11 the solved words for Thursday, 1/10/2013 were:

shift
women
piracy
celery

Now let's try to write a story day-by-day building on the paragraph each of us makes from the 4 words from each day's Jumble.

Women created a shift in piracy on the High Seas by curbing the amount of scurvy aboard buccaneer vessels by adding celery to pirate diets.

Okay, the SHIFT was on. The WOMEN decided that they would have to resort to PIRACY to get the CELERY they needed for the tuna salad.

You are going to have a lot more fun with yours than I will have with mine as I kind of stuck myself into the 1600s with my sentence.

WOMEN working the night SHIFT often told stories of PIRACY while munching on CELERY.

Jumble solved words from Friday, 1-11.
 

Solved words for Friday were:

Shyly.
Thank.
Prefer.
Cancel.

Just hope I do not get stuck with words like computer, phone, etc.
 

Blackbeard shyly accepted the women's role in regulating medicine on board ship and often would thank them by asking his second-in-command to cancel their deck swabbing duties. Blackbeard did prefer rum to celery as did almost all of his crew. Except the deeply religious members who had been kidnapped off of the merchant ships Blackbeard and his crew had sunk.

They then pretended to SHYLY ask the cook on board the ship they were pirating about the celery. When he refused them, they said they would PREFER to do this quietly. But, if necessary they would CANCEL him out to get what they needed. He then handed them the celery and they politely said THANK you.

(Boy what a stretch that was LOL !!!!)

Jumble - Houston Chronicle

Words for Jumble Jan 12, 2013, Saturday:

Upper.
Trunk.
Annual.
Change.

These are not the official Jumble words but I cannot see what else they could be? The official answers do not come out until tomorrow, January 14, 2013.

Just copy and paste to get your sentences together.
 

The upper crust of Blackbeard's crew stored a trunk full of change from raided sunked ships. They had an annual dividing of the spoils among the rest of the crew.

The kidnapped princess had a private cabin on the uper deck of the pirate ship, of course. Blackbeard had taken the jewels from her trunk, but he left the beautiful gowns that she used to change into for annual celebrations at the palace. Alas, no more!

They then proceeded to the UPPER deck to CHANGE into their swim TRUNKs. it was time for their ANNUAL dip.

My tale of Blackbeard so far.
 

Women created a shift in piracy on the High Seas by curbing the amount of scurvy aboard buccaneer vessels by adding celery to pirate diets.

The upper crust of Blackbeard's crew stored a trunk full of change from raided sunked ships. They had an annual dividing of the spoils among the rest of the crew.

In a ledger on Blackbeard's ship was an account of treasure taken from a slave ship which had once been the prize oaken yacht of a very young caliph.

The pirates saw a luxury yacht in the distance, shining white with stout oaken masts. The captain recorded the sighting in his ledger, but he was afraid of what the caliph might do if the pirates pursued it in these waters.
