Plain text: circled letters ACELLAALODRT unscramble to "TOAD-AL" RECALL.
How this puzzle comes together
The frog's cousin, a toad, never forgot anything thanks to his "TOAD-AL" RECALL. Solve FACET (spot FACE) and ADRIFT (spot DRIFT) first, then the two double-L words, VILLA and WALLOP. With three L's among the circled letters, RECALL is the natural first guess for the punchline.
The October 13 words at a glance
| Scrambled | Answer | Letters | Circled |
|---|---|---|---|
| CTFAE | FACET | 5 | A, C, E |
| LALIV | VILLA | 5 | L, L, A |
| AOWLLP | WALLOP | 6 | A, L, O |
| RFDTIA | ADRIFT | 6 | D, R, T |
| ACELLAALODRT | "TOAD-AL" RECALL | 12 | Caption answer |
Hardest word: WALLOP
W and P are both awkward to place, and it's the second double-L word of the day, which tempts you to reuse VILLA's shape.
What this puzzle teaches
Look for a familiar word hiding inside the tiles (FACE in FACET, DRIFT in ADRIFT). One leftover letter on the end or front is a very common Jumble construction. For more general patterns, see How to Solve Jumble Puzzles Faster.
Word-by-word breakdowns
Each word has its own page with solving notes, a letter map and its definition:
- CTFAE → FACET (one of the flat, polished surfaces cut into a gemstone)
- LALIV → VILLA (a large country house or coastal retreat, often used as a vacation home)
- AOWLLP → WALLOP (a heavy blow or punch)
- RFDTIA → ADRIFT (floating without being steered or anchored)
- ACELLAALODRT → "TOAD-AL" RECALL (a play on "total recall")
