“Success is not final; failure is not fatal:  it is the courage to continue that counts.”   —   Source Obscure

(Hopefully, Rebecca is winding it up with these “success” quotes!  They are getting very tedious.  And, yes.  Yer Uncle is just an old grouch.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 11/10/18

Visual Description:  The weekly card game.

EYAHN  =  HYENA,  DRAGN  =  GRAND,  HERNDC  =  DRENCH,  WSODNI  =  DISOWN   —   Giving us:  HNAGADDNHION

Clue/Question:  Being dealt a royal flush and winning – – –

Answer:  GO HAND IN HAND

(Luck be a lady tonight!  No amount of bluster . . . will deter her.  She’s winning, straight up!  If she was able to sucker the boys into betting big, she could go home early, a winner.

All of today’s clue words are old favorites.  But boy, some of those jumbles were toughies today!  They’re all new, but both “eyahn” and “wsodni” were very difficult for both me, and my daughter.  I got them both before she did, but to get “disown” I had to back into it.  The answer letter layout, even without the ION, combined with the final solution layout, gave me HAND for the two four letter words.  The G gave me GO, so the answer wasn’t really very tough.  Knowing I needed the ION helped me get “disown”.

Cute card playing cartoon.  I’m guessing these characters are sort of based on actual friends of Jeff’s.  Fun Jumble all around.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
