Cryptoquote Spoiler – 12/14/20

“About the time we can make the ends meet, somebody moves the ends.”   —   Herbert Hoover

(Probably said this while the Great Depression was going on.  The stock market crash of 1929 devastated the country.  Not sure if Herb could’ve done anything to prevent it.  But, he was Secretary of Commerce for the eight years leading up to it, so I guess he’s got to take some of the blame, like Coolidge did.  Be well and do good, friends.)  —   YUR

Jumble Spoiler – 12/14/20

Visual Description:  Modern day witches.

NLKPA  =  PLANK,  CLXEE  =  EXCEL,  SOLTCE  =  CLOSET,  MORHEC  =  CHROME   —   Giving us:  PLKECECLSHRE

Clue/Question:  The increasingly forgetful witch used software on her computer that had a – – –

Answer:  SPELL CHECKER

(Cute!  But, kinda familiar though.  We haven’t had a witchy Jumble pun since late October.

No new clue words today.  And, only “nlkpa” is coming up as a new jumble.  We’ve definitely seen “clxee”, “soltce” and “morhec” in the past.  The answer letter layout was a terrific twelve letter jumble.  But, I think I saw this one coming a mile away.

Really cute cartoon.  I like the frog on top of the witch’s monitor, and her real mouse looking mouse.  That’s a heck of a recipe she has going there.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
