Jumble Spoiler – 03/05/21

Visual Description:  Homeschooling lesson.

LNAPK  =  PLANK,  ITODI  =  IDIOT,  SMUIES  =  MISUSE,  CVNIEO  =  NOVICE   —   Giving us:  PNKIDTMIENIE

Clue/Question:  She learned exactly how to spell “memory” and would need to – – –

Answer:  KEEP IT IN MIND

(I guess that’s what we all do when we put things in our memory banks!  That was never a difficult word for me though.  Because I think very phonetically I’ve long had a problem with the word preparation.  I always think ER instead of AR, even though I know the root word is PREPARE.  There are others, but I can’t think of them at this moment.  But memory was never one of them.

I had hopes that “misuse” might be new, but it was on the ralis95 clue word database.  I almost wrote conive for “novice”, until I thought better.  Three of the jumbles came up as new, for me.  But we’ve definitely seen “itodi” before.  The answer letter layout was a doozy of a dozen letter jumble.  But the final answer came to me right away, even though I didn’t think it was much of a pun, at first.

Fine mother/daughter domestic scene cartoon.  I remember helping my daughter with her vocabulary/spelling words when she was young.  Probably my son as well, but the memory of helping my daughter with it is stronger.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“The closed mind, if closed long enough, can be opened by nothing short of dynamite.”   —   Gerald Johnson

(Great quote!  Bunch of Gerald Johnsons out there!  But, this is likely from Gerald W. Johnson, the journalist/writer.  Although, I wouldn’t discount it being from the one who was a nuclear expert and negotiator.  Both were Americans, and both have passed.  We welcome at least one, or the other, to the Cryptoquote Club today!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
