Jumble Spoiler – 09/28/16

Visual Description:  Stinky artistic license!

LORTL  =  TROLL,  LITUQ  =  QUILT,  FILRAY  =  FAIRLY,  GEELLA  =  ALLEGE   —   Giving us:  TLLTIRYALE

Clue/Question:  When he said the U.S. produces 200 million tons of trash annually, he meant it – – – 

Answer:  “LITTER–ALLY“

(Cute, stretch of a pun.  None of the clue words were new, but three of the jumbles came up as new.  They’ve used “lortl” before.  I thought that “filray” was a great jumble.  It took me a couple of seconds to see “fairly”.  The answer letter layout was an excellent jumble!  Nothing obvious about it, at all.  If you really want to be “litter-al”, trash – properly disposed of – is NOT litter.  And, if you want to really get literal, not all litter is trash.  I wonder which came first though, the noun or the verb?  Hmm.  I’d kinda bet on the verb.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Cryptoquote Spoiler – 09/28/16

“There are two men inside the artist:  the poet and the craftsman.  One is born a poet.  One becomes a craftsman.”   —   Emile Zola

(This one was too easy!  Just as I was printing this from the Arkansas Online site, I was saying to myself I could probably solve this without printing it out.  But, too late.  It’s a great quote, though.  I’ve been known to “craft” a poem, from time to time, but clearly I’m no poet.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
