Unscramble UENSCS: Letters, Definition, and Answer
UENSCS unscrambles to CENSUS, a 6-letter noun from Sunday Jumble Answers Today: October 25, 2026. Repeated letters: S (×2).
How to crack UENSCS
SCENE eats five tiles and leaves C and U stranded — the trap that wastes time on this rack. UNCSE pulls the same way and fails on leftovers. The double S wants to sit together. Put CEN at the front the way center starts, then SUS behind it with both S letters paired: CEN, SUS. Once the population-count noun appears, CENSUS is the only common word that clears every tile.

What does CENSUS mean?
CENSUS (noun): an official count of a population, usually with basic facts about each person. Example: “The census forms asked how many people lived in the apartment on April first.”
Similar: count, enumeration, head count, tally.
Did you know? The U.S. Constitution requires a decennial census; the first one ran in 1790 under Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson.
Using CENSUS in a sentence
A census is an official head count, usually with basic facts about each household: census tract, census data, census worker. The U.S. Census Bureau runs the decennial count the Constitution requires. Enumeration and head count are the formal cousins; tally is the informal one. There is no everyday antonym for the event itself. Keep census separate from consensus — they share a Latin count root, but consensus is agreement among people, not counting them.
How CENSUS fits the puzzle
CENSUS circles E, S and U. The E feeds the triple VERSES stacks, the S is one of six S tiles in the caption, and the U is the lone U in VERSUS — three different letters from one six-letter answer.
Its circled letters feed the caption answer, VERSES VERSUS VERSES.
