Plain text: circled letters DBABNDNAEN unscramble to BANNED THE BAND.
How this puzzle comes together
After a rock group trashed their suite, the hotel manager BANNED THE BAND, a pun built on two near-identical words. DOUBT and CABIN are quick five-letter starts. The circled letters include three N's and two B's, which is a strong hint that BAND and BANNED are both in the answer.
The September 30 words at a glance
| Scrambled | Answer | Letters | Circled |
|---|---|---|---|
| OTBDU | DOUBT | 5 | D, B |
| BCNAI | CABIN | 5 | A, B, N |
| EDUNDS | SUDDEN | 6 | D, N |
| HESNKA | SHAKEN | 6 | A, E, N |
| NDBNAABDNE | BANNED THE BAND | 10 | Caption answer |
Hardest word: SHAKEN
SNAKE is hiding in it and uses five of six letters, so the H tends to get left over until you try SHAKE + N.
What this puzzle teaches
When the circled letters repeat a pattern (B-A-N twice), look for two words that share most of their letters. For more general patterns, see How to Solve Jumble Puzzles Faster.
