it was never about the jumble

when i started this blog, i never thought anything would come of it. i was told indie jumbling "wasn't a thing" and that i "didn't have rights to the name" and i "had to call them scramblewords." nevertheless, my scramblewords carried on.

with every jumble i posted, i got stronger. i felt my bones shrake(!).

now, there are over 2000 indie jumblers, in a movement the news called "concerning." we accomplished a lot in one year: we started jumbofiend.com, we made a lot of jumbles, and we met oprah. i just want to say thank you. you are the most beautiful community of redditors i have ever had the pleasure of moderating.

and now, some exciting news from the council:

Our society of jumblers here at Jumble Pumple are happy to announce the Howard Binkley Gold Grant for Young Jumblers. Among the recipients for 2024 include: Geoff Schuester, Jasper Om, Rebecca Spurnell, and Frank "The Pope" Hawkley. In the words of the pioneering indie Jumbler Howard Binkley: "Keep jumbling, Jumble People."
