Cryptoquote Spoiler – 06/11/20

“Acting touches nerves you have absolutely no control over.”   —   Alan Rickman

(A fine actor.  Not sure why he was chosen to play Ronald Reagan in Lee Daniel’s “The Butler”, but so many movies – and television – lately use British – or Australian – actors to play Americans!  The three main characters in the movie “Selma” – about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. – were all British!  I guess Americans can’t act anymore?  Anyway, we welcome Alan Rickman – posthumously – to the Cryptoquoe Club, today.   Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 06/11/20

Visual Description:  Not . . . the comfy chair!

ZAAEM  =  AMAZE,  RWDOC  =  CROWD,  TLUFAN  =  FLAUNT,  GOIBOE  =  BOOGIE   —   Giving us:  MZCROFNTOOE

Clue/Question:  The psychiatrist’s new plush furniture helped to create a – – –

Answer:  COMFORT ZONE

(Not a particularly stinky pun.  I suppose, like anything else, it has its place.  What would it take to make you feel more content, happier and more satisfied?  A cushy chair, perhaps?  Maybe now our patient will open up a little more.  They can’t all be winners, folks.

I’m seeing yet another new clue word today, in “boogie”!  Now, this IS a six letter word, so perhaps we’ve seen it in a previous Sunday Jumble.  All I know is that it is not on the current version of the world famous rali95 clue word database.  Three of today’s jumbles are coming up as new, but we’ve definitely seen “zaaem” in the past.  The answer letter layout was a great eleven letter jumble.  The clue/question just set the whole thing up perfectly.

Nice cartoon of a guy at his shrink’s office.  It looks like that chair could accommodate someone twice his size.  Even hefty folks get the blues.  They’re not all jolly fat men . . . and women.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
