Cryptoquote Spoiler – 11/03/17

“We all get where we’re going by circuitous journeys, and some of the setbacks are warranted.”   —   Carol Burnett

(So true!  Life’s impediments make us more introspective, and give us a better perspective on things.  Strangely, this appears to be our first Carol Burnett quote!  Unless I just forgot to save her as a Tag before.  Hmm.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 11/03/17

Visual Description:  A sylvan salvage.

OHOBT  =  BOOTH,  UNDOW  =  WOUND,  SFLSIO  =  FOSSIL,  TOXVER  =  VORTEX   —   Giving us: OOTHWUDFOSOTE

Clue/Question:  The rescue team reached him in the forest, but he wasn’t – – –

Answer:  OUT OF THE WOODS

(. . . yet!  One of those literal/figurative puns.  Not so stinky.  There are no new clue words today, but three of the jumbles came up as new.  We’ve definitely had “undow” before.  It took me a minute to get “vortex”.  I wanted to make it EX-something!  Super long answer letter layout, made for a nice jumble too.  Fantastic woodsy cartoon, with a great chopper and rescue team.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
