Jumble Spoiler – 10/18/19

Visual Description:  The family that launders together . . . ponders together???

DAGEL  =  GLADE,  TILVA  =  VITAL,  THISCW  =  SWITCH,  PAMIRI  =  IMPAIR   —   Giving us:  GAEVTLWIHIIR

Clue/Question:  The new washing machine had just arrived and they were ready to – – –

Answer:  GIVE IT A WHIRL

(Wasn’t WHIRL recently a clue word?  It definitely sounds familiar to me.  We’ve got both a Whirlpool washer AND dryer, thanks to our old Hotpoint dryer dying out.  The extended warranty ran out, and the cost of a relatively simple repair was ridiculous.  So, now it looks like we bought them as a pair!

All of today’s clue words are familiar old favorites.  And, three of the jumbles have been used before, with only “tilva” coming up as new.  The answer letter layout was a decent twelve letter jumble, but I was able to see the final answer right away.

(Letterman always cracks me up!  I’m not digging his current Santa/Rabbi look, but to each their own!  Even though I had a perfectly good newspaper in which to write out the various letters of this quote, I was able to solve today’s Cryptoquote just by sight!  Believe me, this does not happen often!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
