Tough Cryptoquote Spoiler – 07/18/18

“Age wrinkles the body; quitting wrinkles the soul.”   —   Douglas MacArthur

(Tough one to get started.  And, I guess tough one to finish.  “Wrinkle” was a little difficult.  It helped that I was able to figure out “quitting” early on.  Good quote.  Doug was no dummy.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  Explaining the rules of arm wrestling is simple because it’s – – –

Answer:  EASY TO GRASP

(A gripping pun!  Getting today’s answer may have been more difficult than understanding said rules.  Apparently, there is more to arm wrestling than mere strength.  A lot of pumped up strong folks lose to your average looking guys/gals all the time.  But, arm strength goes a long way.

We’re all getting a break from new clue words today.  Although, all of the jumbles did come up as new.  None of them slowed me up any.  The answer letter layout was the best of the jumbles.  The answer did not come to me immediately.  I didn’t struggle, but it wasn’t obvious to me.

Heartwarming father and son scene.  Sort of a right of passage.  It was a low-key cartoon.  Definitely not “Over the Top”!  It looks like our two boys are lefties!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
