Cryptoquote Spoiler – 11/25/19

“Clay can be dirt in the wrong hands, but clay can be art in the right hands.”   —   Lupita Nyong’o

(This one took some doing!  Nothing ends in E.  No repeating, or alternating letters.  And, not a lot of names have apostrophes there.  I was able to see THE RIGHT, but erred and tried making the C the S, but I don’t know any words that end in SG.  So, I switched the S to N and I was off to the races.  This is our first quote from the Kenyan actress.  So, today we welcome Lupita Nyong’o to the Cryptoquote Club!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 11/25/19

Visual Description:  Uncle tough guy.

CMIMI  =  MIMIC,  CUPHO  =  POUCH,  NOYELL  =  LONELY,  VIRRDE  =  DRIVER   —   Giving us:  ICUCLNEDRE

Clue/Question:  The teen arm wrestled his dad’s brother until the teen – – –

Answer:  CRIED UNCLE

( . . . Rave!  He cried Uncle Rave!  Nah!  Uncle Rave is no tough guy.  Great stinky pun!  Not the toughest of Jumbles, but hey, it’s Monday.  It’s here to ease us into the work week.

No new clue words today.  Two of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve definitely seen both “cupho” and “noyell” before.  For some reason I had a little trouble coming up with “driver”.  The answer letter layout was a nice ten letter jumble.  But, I saw CRIED on the outsides and UNCLE in the middle.  Wait.  I thought it was supposed to be MONKEY IN THE MIDDLE?  Different game, I guess.

Nice family kitchen table scene.  Just the guys.  No women allowed.  Kind of like The He-Mans’ Women-Haters Club.  Can you smell-el-el the testosterone?!?!  LOL!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
