Final answer
Plain text: circled letters EITHDCH unscramble to HITCHED.
How this puzzle comes together
Horses married for years liked being HITCHED, which means both married and harnessed to a cart. OPERA and ORBIT are quick vowel-led words. SWITCH and HYBRID give the H's and C needed for HITCHED.
The September 28 words at a glance

Hardest word: HYBRID
Y acting as a vowel in the middle of a six-letter word is rare, and H-Y-B-R-I-D doesn't break into familiar chunks.
What this puzzle teaches
If a word has only one standard vowel, check whether Y is acting as a vowel in the middle (hybrid, myth, rhythm). For more general patterns, see How to Solve Jumble Puzzles Faster.
