Jumble Spoiler – 10/12/19

Visual Description:  Very dense underbrush.

CUTHH  =  HUTCH,  NAYML  =  MANLY,  ITTCEK  =  TICKET,  CROOTD  =  DOCTOR   —   Giving us:  HUTCANLICKDOT

Clue/Question:  They tried using machetes to cut their way through the jungle, but – – –

Answer:  COULDN‘T HACK IT

(I’m just glad it’s the traditional use of the word “hack”, and it has nothing to do with computers, or “life hacks”.  But, I’d also like to know who this Hut is.  Is it a he or a she?  🙂  Yeah, I’m in a mood.  Later on that.

None of the clue words for Saturday’s Jumble are new, and only one of the jumbles came up as new.  Only “ittcek” is new.  We’ve seen the other three before.  The answer letter layout was a great thirteen letter jumble!  Beautifully cryptic!  Didn’t give away a thing.

Great jungle  cartoon.  Reminds me of an old “Tarzan”, or “Jungle Jim” movie scene.  I was always a HUGE Johnny Weissmuller fan!  Okay, maybe not a great actor.  But, he was the ultimate Tarzan!  The guys in the cartoon are toast.  They ain’t makin’ it out!  The snakes and bugs and gator/crocs are going to feast!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
