Today’s Jumble background: Imagining a team of early 19th century explorers, in search of rare hybrid creatures & hoping to capture their image…
“Our Plan was Grand”
Our outing tracked hy-
phenated panda-sloths, their
features drawn by’n by.
~ OMK
Pee-chee the panda was American made,
In a secret section of the Everglades.
No "Asian-American" for his race,
A hyphen there would be out-of-place!
But a wanderlust on Pee-Chee was cast;
He decided to follow a different path.
He was drawn to the bustling world of men,
Away from his home and his panda friends.
His outing took him to an urban zoo.
Folks thought his costume realistic, too.
He was cast in a contest with a chihuahua,
To go mano y mano, or rather, paw to paw!
He and Jorge toured with a circus circuit,
Then movies, L.A. mansion, and Pee-Chee was set!

I finished the jigsaw #1 in 11:19 today. (No share button for here!)
I have surprised myself by enjoying this new challenge . . . and the great verse as a prize for the solve.
Thanks Owen.
I grasped the trick on today's.

I'd completely forgotten the Jumble since I did it Monday

"Pet Panda"
Amanda had a panda as a pet
and she took him to the vet.
It was a successful outing
that left her no longer doubting
why she was so drawn
to this pet, who made her fawn.
He was no hyphen in her band
of critters, hand in hand,
who brought her so much pleasure
because they were a treasure.
(Sometimes the Jumble words make cogent rhymes difficult, like having to work in the word 'hyphen'.)
Well, once again, I got the Wordle, thanks to your clue, Ol' Man Keith, but once again couldn't transfer it to this site. I checked your questions in your last message to me yesterday, but sadly I don't have answers for you. My computer is a desk top, but I don't see the brand anywhere except a little tag that says Intel Core i7 VPRO 10th GEN.
What's so upsetting about this is that I was able to post my Wordles every day for a while, and then suddenly the transfer stopped working. Drives me crazy, but I just don't know what to do. But thank you for trying to help me.
Pee-Chee was a happy surprise, Owen, and a delight to wake up to.
I wish he & Jorge were real enough that I might catch their act!
Yes, and thanks, too, for that beaut of a design, for the stairway poem, and for giving me a chance to improve my jigsawing time.
I did 18:19 on #1 today, not in our Canadian’s league, but ever upwards, Eh!?

Good on ya, CEh! ~ for your swift #1 and for working a hint-free Wordle.
May I assume your next-to-last was ANTSY?
Tough one, huh? But you didn’t let it ANNOY you!
Misty ~
I’m sure Amanda’s panda brings her much joy, especially because he is “no hyphen in her band of critters”—which I take to mean he is a true ailuropoda melanoleuca, not a hybrid like my strange creature.
Now,
If you want to rhyme “hyphen,”
you probably need that sucky, “siphon.”
The word’s a problematic trochee,
clumsy as a party Hokey-Pokey.

Misty ~ I’m pretty sure you’d know if your desktop was an iMac, so we may assume it is a PC.
But I don’t believe the brand would make a difference in how the site appears. What is most strange to me—as it is frustrating to you—is why it was working properly for a while, but then stopped!
Where along the line did it stop?
Is it that you no longer see the Share screen?
Or that you see it, even paste it, but it doesn’t show up on this page?

What “trick,” WC?

The Angry Bear
The outing was planned,
Panda to panda were drawn.
Off they went hand in hand, (no hyphen)
Over each other to fawn.
Father bear was not pleased!
Misty- I always post my offering before reading the others, so that I don’t mimic.
But I see we both used fawn to rhyme with drawn (and with the same meaning!, not the animal!). But I guess it was that or prawn.
I agree that hyphen was the outlier today. But OMK and Owen made it work.
I love how Owen got “mano y mano, paw to paw” in there.
OMK- actually my second to last was Anomy. I didn’t even know the word, and didn’t think it would be accepted! I had to look it up- it means rootlessness, alienation, meaninglessness.
I did consider Annoy for guess three, but I had already eliminated a N in third spot in guess two.
I had to think outside the vowel box to get from guess four to guess five.
Nice poem, CEh! ~ It can be read as an unsuitable courtship, maybe even as an LGBTQ elopement--depending on the degree of Father B's ire.
(O those pandas!)
I only know ANOMY from reading Camus, but I wouldn't expect to see it in Wordle, as too rare to be chosen as an answer.
When I saw the hint for 395, I thought "How easy!"
Trouble with Par = 1 is you can NEVER beat it: no "Birdie" for us. Gotta get it in one, or we just put our foot in the egg on our face.
But I suppose for the hintless, it must be tough as you say.
When I go without hints, I remind myself not to overthink it.

OMK, GRASP was my first Wordle. The "trick " was getting three letters in guess one. Nothing to ARGUE about there.
Then of course #3 was what was left. That made me happy.
I love to start with different words and I even managed to get shut out on my first two stabs last week. But with ten letters eliminated I was able to survive .
I have a string of threes going
Between Xword and Jumble there's always a new starter word

The following uses Tuesday and Wednesday J's and riddle-solutions
Have fun guessing the Wednesday J's and riddle-solution
[Charles is offering to pay for a huge wedding]
Charles' words came as a shock to Chet: "Ditch our wedding plans?"
Canceling that bargain honeymoon; publishing wedding bans?
A large outing with many guests and a five piece band?
Marching with Lois down the aisle to the altar hand in hand?
Yes, Charles and Nora were generous but Chet feared to pander
And now drawing up the expanded wedding list- scary in all candor.
Some of Charles friends had hyphens in their names for heaven's sake
Who to pick , who to drop ? Arranging limos, tuxes not to speak of the cake!
"Hell", thought Chet, "Some of those folk I've never even met!"
And what of Lois? I must keep that in mind. I need a tete a tete.
