Unscramble ODBOR: Letters, Definition, and Answer
ODBOR unscrambles to BROOD, a 5-letter noun from Jumble Answers Today: October 26, 2026. Repeated letters: O (×2).
How to crack ODBOR
BOARD wants an A you do not have and still feels close — the trap on this rack. DOOR and BOOR pull the same way and leave leftover tiles. Put BR up front the way bring and broom do, then OOD behind it with the double O: BR, OOD. Once both O letters sit in the middle, BROOD is the only everyday noun that clears every tile.

What does BROOD mean?
BROOD (noun): a group of young birds hatched at the same time, or to think anxiously about something. Example: “The hen kept her brood close to the coop after the storm.”
Similar: clutch, litter, offspring, hatch.
Did you know? "Brood" comes from Old English brōd, "offspring." The anxious-thinking sense (brood over a problem) grew from birds sitting on eggs — the same root as breed.
Using BROOD in a sentence
A brood is a group of young birds from one hatching: a brood of chicks under the hen. As a verb, brood means to sit on eggs or to think anxiously about something (brood over a mistake). Brood mare is horse-breeding English for a mare kept for foals. Clutch and litter cover overlapping animal groups; litter is more common for mammals. There is no tidy single antonym for the group itself. Keep brood separate from brew as a look-alike — same opening letters, different jobs.
How BROOD fits the puzzle
BROOD circles only D. That single tile opens the DZEYU bank and becomes the D in DUE — the first half of "DUE-ZY" — so this five-letter answer puts the credit-card pun on the board early.
Its circled letters feed the caption answer, "DUE-ZY".
