I'm sure most readers are familiar with the regular newspaper
feature JUMBLE. Did you know that it was created by Martin Dell in 1954 and
has become a Jumble "empire" that includes daily and Sunday puzzles in
hundreds of newspapers? Here's a brief history if you're interested.

I am puzzled by the lack of the JUMBLE puzzle in simple paperback form at newsstands (all venues), despite innumerable versions of all other word and number games. It boggles the mind that JUMBLE (who ever the real publisher is) would not be among the crosswords, SODUKUs, find-the-words, cryptograms, and the like. What is the reason for this?
Where can I find answers to old Jumbles? I think I have the right answers, but would like to verify… the one I’m looking for now was from 26FEBs Jumble – ‘when the guide got lost, their amazon adventure turned into a —— ——’.
