Jumble Spoiler – 01/29/21

Visual Description:  NOT Bob Newhart!

GNTIE  =  TINGE,  GAAED  =  ADAGE,  RYELEM  =  MERELY,  TAISHU  =  HIATUS   —   Giving us:  TIGDAMEETUS

Clue/Question:  To come up with revenue projections, the owner of the inn – – –

Answer:  “GUEST–IMATED“

(Great pun of a pun . . . I guess!  Or, should that be a sonuva pun?  An estimate is usually based on a certain amount of knowledge.  When you really haven’t a clue you make more of a guess-timate.

There’s No Vacancy at the ralis95 clue word database, but that doesn’t matter at all today.  Three of the jumbles are coming up as new, but we’ve seen “gntie” sometime before.  The answer letter layout was an enigmatic eleven letter jumble.  But something about the quotation marks and the hyphen brought me the answer like a bellhop looking for a big tip.

Cute cartoon of a couple running an inn.  I’d rather have seen Mary Fran and Bob Newhart, but I guest that’s been done before.  Great show though.  I haven’t seen it since the series ended.  I wonder if it’s on MeTV or the COZI channel?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Cryptoquote Spoiler – 01/29/21

“If you steal from one author, it’s plagiarism; if you steal from many, it’s research.”   —   Wilson Mizner

(I know we’ve had a couple of Wilson’s quotes in the past.  Not this one, but this quote still seems very familiar to me!  Never mind, I just found it.  We have had this exact Mizner quote, but way back in May of 2010!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
