Cryptoquote Spoiler – 11/17/16

“The intellect of the wise is like glass; it admits the light of heaven and reflects it.”   —   Augustus Hare

(Our first Augustus Hare quote.  I’d never heard of the man.  What might be a good substitute word for “heaven” in this case?  Truth?  Hmm.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 11/17/16

Visual Description:  Good kitchen help is – sometimes – hard to find.

SLIBS  =  BLISS,  KIKAH  =  KHAKI,  ILANFE  =  FINALE,  DIACEV  =  ADVICE   —   Giving us:  BLHKFAEAD

Clue/Question:  When Jill asks her kids for help dinner, the results are – – –

Answer:  HALF–BAKED

(One of those literal/figurative puns.  At least in this case.  Very nice.  All of the clue words were old favorites today.  But, three of the jumbles came up as new.  We’ve definitely seen “kikah” before.  The answer letter layout was a terrific jumble.  There was nothing obvious about it.  Cute cartoon.  I’m sure Amy and Jess meant well, but poor Jill!  The Pajama Diaries is new to me.  Maybe to you too.  You can check them out below.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
