(Sounds like one half cheerleading coach, and the other half drill sergeant!  They call her the “Queen of Cheer”, and apparently she has a very popular Netflix show, “Cheer”.  As this is the first of her quotes to be featured on the Cryptoquote, we welcome her to the Cryptoquote Club today!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 03/10/20

Visual Description:  A sign of the times?

GUHDO  =  DOUGH,  GUENL  =  LUNGE,  GUFARL  =  FRUGAL,  CCROSH  =  SCORCH   —   Giving us:  DUHLNEFALSRH

Clue/Question:  With so many students, the sign language teacher had – – –

Answer:  HER HANDS FULL

(This is a cut pun!  I’m sure some of the language sticklers are still cringing a little, but that’s their problem.  We elitists know better!  Right?  Sign language is pretty cool.  I think I once knew the alphabet, but that was a long time ago.  I always enjoy watching the sign translators at press conferences, and such.  I remember a few years ago, some city or state hired some guy to sign for their speeches, and it turned out he was a complete fraud!  He was just out there moving his hands around!  I don’t know how long it went on, but someone who actually knows sign language outed his gibberish.  Talk about your cajones!  I’m pretty sure they did a better job vetting the next signer.

No new clue words today.  But, two of the jumbles appear to be new.  We’ve definitely seen “guhdo” and “ccrosh” sometime in the past.  Three “G” jumbles today!  I really like “gufarl”.  It sounds like it could be a word.  The answer letter layout was an impressive twelve letter jumble.  I thought it was nicely cryptic.  With the final answer slots, and the leading nature of the clue/question, I barely had to look at it though.

Nice elementary school classroom cartoon.  I really like the alphabet chart on the wall.  Fun Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
