Cryptoquote Spoiler – 04/12/18

“Make an empty space in any corner of your mind, and creativity will instantly fill it.”   —   Dee Hock

(Bock?  Gock?  Aah, Hock!  Another first time quote from a very successful gentleman.  I feel this is a very generous quote, as most of us seem to have a firewall that keeps creativity out!  My corners are mostly filled with cobwebs.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 04/12/18

Visual Description:  That’s a tater!

GITSH  =  SIGHT,  GRUHS  =  SHRUG,  DIRTEA  =  TIRADE,  TULEID  =  DILUTE   —   Giving us:  SIHSHRTIDITE

Clue/Question:  He belted home run after home run once he – – –

Answer:  HIT HIS STRIDE

(So, why hasn’t homerun made its way to being a compound word yet?  Is there like some kind of dictionary board where someone can submit a word for inclusion to the compound club?  Is it a pay to play kind of deal, or what?  Hey readers!  I know there are still a few of you left.  See what you can find on this issue, and get back to me.  Will ya?

Guess what, boys and girls?  We have a brand new clue word today, in “tirade”!  It’s the first new clue word in a few weeks.  Our good buddy, ralis95, can add this to his world famous clue word database.  Plus, all of today’s jumbles are coming up as new.  I particularly liked “dirtea”, and I’m guessing it’s because it hid a new clue word.  There was nothing obvious about the answer letter layout.  It was a very commendable jumble.  It was the setup of the clue/question, the cartoon and its dialog, that made the answer a piece of cake for me.

A bare bones kind of baseball cartoon today.  A very generic looking baseball team, with minimal detail.  I did like what appears to be a bat rack and the on-deck circle, by the one coach.  So far, the boys of summer would settle for some non-winter weather.  We are about three weeks behind schedule, with temps and lack of rain.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
