Cryptoquote Spoiler – 05/08/19

“I was always looking outside myself for strength and confidence, but it comes from within.  It is there all the time.”   —   Anna Freud

(Of course, they lie within all of us.  But, knowing that, and being able to access those things is another matter altogether.  Many parents – mostly with the best of intentions – can be overly protective, and they create a kind of dependence that subjugates those vital assets.  We need to encourage our children to take chances, and let them known that they are strong and able.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 05/08/19

Visual Description:  Commuter inconvenience.

AVEWE  =  WEAVE,  NRITP  =  PRINT,  CENDRH  =  DRENCH,  ROCAGU  –  COUGAR   —   Giving us:  EAEPRIDRNUR

Clue/Question:  They used the subway to go to work every day except when it was – – –

Answer:  UNDER REPAIR

(Dig it.  Looks like they’re going to have to walk to the next station.  Unless the entire line is down, then they’ll have to go to a different line, or catch a bus.  Commuting can be a big hassle for city dwellers.  Fun pun.  Better smelling than some subway stations, no doubt.

All of today’s clue words are old favorites.  Three of the jumbles appear to be new, with only “avewe” having definitely been used before.  The answer letter layout was a challenging eleven letter jumble.  I figured UNDER right off the bat, but had to write out AEPRIR to see REPAIR.

Fine urban themed cartoon.  The “workers” look more like students, with those backpacks on.  But, what do I know?  I haven’t ridden the subway in a number of years.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
