Cryptoquote Spoiler – 08/19/20

“I believe that the dance came from the people and that it should always be delivered back to the people.”   —   Alvin Ailey

(A very populist thing to say!  Alvin’s candle burned very bright, but also far too quickly.  But, his Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater lives on!  This appears to be the first of his quotes to be used at the Cryptoquote.  So, we warmly welcome Alvin Ailey – posthumously – to the Cryptoquote Club today!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Today’s clue words are all current residents of the latest ralis95 clue word database.  However, all of today’s jumbles appear to be new.  There was no struggling to get any of them today.  The answer letter layout was an enigmatic ten letter jumble.  The cartoon and the quotation marks were very big clues.

The rustic campfire scene cartoon was very entertaining.  Nice eagle soaring over the mountains in the background.  The cutting board with a knife was a nice touch.  Is that some kind of fire tongs, or poker, on the ground?  I’m not seeing a fishing pole, so I’m guessing he’s not cooking up “salmon”.  If he’s not more careful, he’s also going to end up with roasted knees!  Be well and do good .  . . fwiends.)   —   YUR
