Sunday Cryptoquote Spoiler – 10/20/19

“Among those whom I like, I can find one common denominator:  all of them make me laugh.”   —  W. H. Auden

(It’s very easy to like people who make you laugh.  But, it’s possible to develop an affection for humorless folk too.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Sunday Jumble Spoiler – 10/20/19

Visual Description:  Someone’s gotta win, and someone’s gotta lose, at the rehab center.

NGRADO  =  DRAGON,  MYESST  =  SYSTEM,  SLAU5WR  =  WALRUS,  LYOGOM  =  GLOOMY,  ESOLON  =  LOOSEN,  SOFLIS  =  FOSSIL   —   Giving us:  DRASTWAROOOSFSL

Clue/Question:  The Scrabble player was down by more than 200 points and – – –

Pre-Answer:  Five Words  (2-letter)  (1-letter)  (4-letters)  (3-letters)  (5-letters)

Answer:  AT A LOSS FOR WORDS

(A great stinky word game pun!.  I’m not a big time Scrabble player, but I think you could rack up some points using those letters, as long as you can make actual words.

No new clue words today!  Five of the six jumbles appear to be new, with only “soflis” having definitely been used before.  The answer letter layout was a nifty fifteen letter jumble.  Nothing obvious about it.  I had to think a bit to come up with the final answer.

This looks like a nice hospital/rehab center game room scene.  Aa fun Sunday Jumble!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —    YUR
