Cryptoquote Spoiler – 01/18/16

“Love begins by taking care of the closest ones – the ones at home.”   —   Mother Teresa

(It’s a good thing this quote came from Mama T, because if not for the author’s name I would have struggled even more in getting this one.  I figured the G was the E, and that the LCG was THE, but it wasn’t until I saw the LCG in MOTHER that I was able to put it all together.  Be well and do good, friends . . . at home, behind closed doors, as well out in the light of day.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 01/18/16

English: The Kings Head Hotel The Kings Head Hotel on the western side of The Square in the centre of Wimborne. I wonder if the sign should have a possessive apostrophe in “Kings”? (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Visual Description:  Good home cookin’!

VONEY  =  ENVOY,  XORYP  =  PROXY,  TIFYES  =  FEISTY,  GIDFIR  =  FRIGID   —   Giving us:  NXFSII

Clue/Question:  The repairman was enjoying his dinner with all the – – –

Answer:  FIXIN’S

(Not the possessive apostrophe, but more the omis-sive apostrophe.  Look what Yer Uncle just did!  He created a new word!  If I didn’t know any better, I’d buy it!  All of today’s clue words are already on the ralis95 clue word database, although we probably haven’t seen “envoy” and/or “feisty” in quite a while.  Three of the jumbles came up as new, with “voney”, surprisin’ly, havin’ been used before.  That jumble gave me the most trouble, but I thought they were all pretty nifty.  Not a lot of hidin’ goin’ on in a six letter answer letter layout.  Although, I suppose some of you could’ve had a hard time with the answer.  Fairly standard cartoon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
