“Face challenges, fear, and frustrations by seeking out knowledge and opportunities for growth.” —Fanny Mairena
(An excellent quote from the founder of LENY –Latinas En New York! A very attractive young lady! The key word for me today was spotting “opportunities”! This is Fanny’s first quote at the Cryptoquote, so we welcome her to the Cryptoquote Club today! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Clue/Question: When the dictator’s neckwear wasn’t to his liking, he went on a – – –
Answer: “TIE–RANT“
(So, the tyrant went on a tirade! I can dig it. After all, I’ve been known to go on the occasional rant myself. LOL! There is just so much that is messed up in this world. And, everyone would be much better off if they would just listen to . . . yer Uncle Rave! I could be a very benevolent dictator ya know. Of course, I’d have to come up with a more light and positive title than dictator. How does Head Humanitarian sound??? You’d all listen to the Head Humanitarian, wouldn’t you? Now, don’t mistake these last few sentences for a rant. That’s an order! No, this has just been a bit of a gentle tangent. Back to the Jumble.
There were no new clue words today. Two of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve most definitely seen both “lufat” and “greetr” in past Jumbles. None of the jumbles stumped me today. The answer letter layout was a slight seven letter jumble. By itself I thought it did a great job, as a jumble. The cartoon, hyphen and the quotation marks were the big hints.
Fun cartoon of the former Generalisimo and his cowering lackey. His portrait with the tanks and lion just screams INSECURITY! The Napoleonic wannabe! I gotta say though, I’ve never been much of a fan of striped ties myself. They are pretty boring. Be well and do good, friends.) —YUR
