Clue/Question:  To reach the summit quickly, the rider wanted her horse to – – – 

Answer:  GIDDY UP

(Probably one of the easiest Jumbles of all time!  Gee, pony.  Git on up that hill, horsey!  Seven letter Jumble answers aren’t exactly a big challenge.  But it’s a cute pun.

No new clue words on this day, but it looks like all four jumbles are coming up as new.  They were all pretty quick solves.  The answer letter layout was a slight seven letter jumble.  Decently cryptic.  But the cartoon’s dialog, the clue/question, and the spacing of the final answer slots made for an immediate solve.

Fun cartoon of the trailing rider and her stodgy steed.  He doesn’t look like he’s very anxious to get to the top of that summit.  Oh well.  You can lead a horse to the hill . . . but you can’t make him climb.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Belated Cryptoquote Solved – 11/28/22

“Have you seen my heart, somewhere in your castle of yellow leaves?”   —   A Waltz for Zizi, “Letter to November”

(Very interesting.  I don’t know if this is from a poem, or a song.  And if this is a single person, or a group.  I couldn’t find anything definitive.  Therefore, I don’t feel comfortable welcoming who/whatever A Waltz for Zizi is.  But I do like the line.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
