Today's Jumble: ASTHMA

Today's Jumble gave me a little trouble. I would expect any word with these letters to have at least one vowel in the interior. When I finally grokked that the answer was ASTHMA, I had to look it up in the dictionary because I wasn't sure of the spelling: the TH isn't even pronounced. A couple of minutes of poking around in the dictionary revealed the spelling. Who'd a thunk it?

  1. If you have asma (sic!), you'll find yourself pronouncing the
    TH ... TH...Th...TH...
    audibly all the time :-(
