You finished the puzzle in 1:49 I labored over PEEPING. Never would have associated that with autumn and still don’t get it.

0:50! Wow, usually I’m cr@p at this, not sure what happened 😉
It’s never too late to learn. In my almost 80 years and travels through most of the U.S. I had not heard of enjoying the changing colors of leaves called ‘peeping’. I was intrigued enough to search. After going through half a dozen sources I found a reference to ‘peeping’ that referred to changing colors of leaves. I hazard a guess that the term may have developed in the New England states where I have spent little time and, with the exception of New York, not in Autumn.
55 seconds…Where does “peeping” come from? I’m from WV and haven’t heard that.
1:01, no clues. I play all the other games before doing the Word Jumble in order to see potential words for the jumble. In the Trivia Quiz, “leaf peeping” was mentioned and I was able to recall that quickly enough after reasoning that the word must end in “ing” and that left 2 e’s and 2 p’s. If I had remembered it more quickly, I would have been done in less than a minute. They should have used the n from “peeping” instead of the one in “autumn,” but the solution word was a gimme anyway, imho.

I know most people questioned peeping, but “coloring” is the one I needed to get a clue on (or maybe hint is more appropriate). Ha ha!
I’m not sure when it started, but the term “leaf peeping” has been around for awhile up here in New England. (I’m from RI.) I suspect it was something that marketers such as visitors’ bureaus came up with… or the news media, who are always trying to come up with some “clever” and “catchy” way to say something.
Just as an example, I live in Washington County, but it has come to be commonly known as “South County,” as it is the southernmost county in the state. It’s so bad that the State prints “South County” on State produced maps of RI instead of the real name! Younger people who grow up in this county don’t even know the real name, even though it has never been officially changed, and the State abets this mis-apellation. Anyway, that’s my rant for today.
peeping threw me off too…
Peeping????? Never would have guessed that. Did terribly because of it.
2:06 No hints. Pretty fast for me!
2:14 for me and yes PEEPING could throw a lot of people off
Ok
1:05… Peeping was a word I wasn’t familiar with, but still no reveals used
2:05. Had to use 2 reveal letters for “peeping” and where does that fit in to the category? ?
3;16 not bad except for the last one one PEEPING, which it doesn’t make sense.
4:51 Learned about ‘peeping’ from you folks. Thanks.
PEEPING was not even used to provide any letters for the answer. (And it’s not clear what that has to do with fall colors anyway.) It could have been used to provide the E. But evidently the creators of the Jumble puzzle don’t understand how it’s supposed to work.
we learn something new everyday!
Thank you, what a beautiful time of year!
Peeping??? What does that have to do with fall foliage?
Peeping? Really? I figured all of them in 2 minutes but I wasn’t sure of that one.
PEEPING? Only tourist bureaus use that term. It’s childish and stupid.
1:05 – one of the easiest ever for me…but I am not sure what peeping has to do with fall
leaf peeping is a term used for looking at fall colors
1:27. I get fall “coloring” but peeping?!
I lived in New England most of my life and I have no idea what “PEEPING” has to do with fall foliage. Who comes up with this drivel???
4:01. I got stuck on the 4th word – PEEPING – and had to ask for a hint (I think I spent a couple minutes trying to figure that word). I scrolled down and noticed that it was a New England phrase (leaf peepers). I’m from Northern Michigan and have never heard that phrase (I guess a poor excuse is better than none!!).
First time ever finishing the word jumble with a respectable (?) 3:09
“Peeping” comes from “leaf peepers” coming to Vermont to see the ……wait for it…….LEAVES !!
1:02 almost cracked the sub-minute!
1:19 Figured the word had to be ‘peeping’, but have no idea why.
1:06 What in the world is “peeping” ????
1:45 w/2 hints on peeping. What does that have to do w/autumn?
Coloring?
What is peeping???
Peeping???? What the heck is that?
4:12 No misses, No hints, no reveals
