Need Help With Word Puzzle
These puzzles are in the daily paper that my father receives, and he sometimes saves them for me whenever I travel to visit him. And naturally, the part of the newspaper that contained the answer is nowhere to be found.
The object of the puzzle is to figure out a (supposedly) common phrase based upon how the lettering and such is presented.
For example: OholeNE <--- The answer to this would be the golf term "a hole in one".
Anyway, below is the one that has me stumped. I even tried a google reverse image search with no luck.
Any help with solving it will be much appreciated!

Thanks OD!
I never would have figured that out.
At least we're not talking about cat breeds. People who know breeds of cats should not be trusted.
You might have accidentally helped solved this. Could it be Jersey bred? Money is also called bread, the clue is Jersey spelled with money symbols.Quote: RSWhat're y'all cow farmers or something, knowing different breeds of cows??

Maybe the OP should contact the newspaper or publisher of the puzzle.
My cousins have Jersey cows on their farm in Ireland. They are much smaller than the cows you see here, so they eat less and you can have more per acre, but they produce the same amount of milk as American dairy cows. Some of the farms have cows that produce buttermilk, my cousins produce regular milk. I thought they were joking but it is true.

IF I helped solve this puzzle, it would have been on purpose. It could also be
Cow bred
Cow bread
Money cow
Counterfeit money (a cow is a bull, when something is a lie you say bullsh**, so you can claim something is "bull").
Kobe Beef / Waygyu (it's a type of cow I think, and expensive)
That one dude on the show "Jersey Shore", he's like Cuban or black or something. Always wears sunglasses and fake tan I think and spikey hair sorta? He could be the answer to this. Jersey + money = that douchebag dude
There just isn't one right answer. I think all answers are right.
Jersey bred among other meanings, means a horse bred in NJ. I'm sure I've seen the phrase before in other uses, just basically meaning the person was born in NJ. Maybe the boss, what's his name, Bruce Springsteen.Quote: billryanWhat is Jersey bred?

Quote:J. - Bruce Springsteen got this town out of bed early yesterday. The Jersey-bred rocker, who began his career in this seaside resort of 18,000 people three decades ago, returned for his first-ever performance on a TV morning show, NBC's "Today.
If you google Bruce Springsteen and jersey bred, you'll see many examples.
Yeah, sure. The check is coming in the mail. When you get it, cash it and send my half to me.Quote: RSQuote: onenickelmiracleYou might have accidentally helped solved this. Could it be Jersey bred? Money is also called bread, the clue is Jersey spelled with money symbols.

Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance!

I didn't realize Ka is a car... Maybe just "carnations" then? ("Coronation" might change too many letters?)

He actually said it is ambiguous between your answer and his! I only presented the one I liked....
Tough puzzles!
I appreciate the help with this one, and I've definitely confirmed where to go now if one gets us stumped!
