(Very nice.  I thought that “untold” was exceptionally well-jumbled, but the others were also done well.  No new words today.  The answer letter layout was super, but I thought the answer was pretty obvious.  I’m guessing that the thing behind the guy holding the flag is the front end of the dog-sled.  But, what is that on the horizon?  A polar bear, maybe?  What do you guys think???  Enjoy the remainder of the weekend, folks.  Be well and do good.)   —   YUR
