You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications.

The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).

Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated.

PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.

You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.

If you're just starting out on these, be patient, as you'll be proficient in no time.

If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:

You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.

Its another Grand BONUS puzzle day!! ,

Yes, it’s BONUS time once again. That laughable time when you get to solve a humorous quote from a classic funny movie, comedian, or entertainer. The trick is, unlike nikos puzzle where you don’t want to post spoilers, with the BONUS puzzle it’s a race for first solution posted, BUT you don’t post the solution directly, You post a funny pic ,gif, or meme that shows you solved it. First pic or gif wins the prize with full bragging rights. Honorable mentions for all original pic or gif posts.

Don’t get wrapped up in how easy or hard it is. Just solve it and post something funny and share the fun.

Today’s puzzle should be an easy give away, so be creative with your replies 😝

Here it is (with anticipation and drum roll). Ready, set, solve:

A pleasant quote to start the weekend with. 60 seconds.

7 minutes. That was a nail biter. The ing word helped as did the e but I had no sense where I was going for quite a while.

[ComputerGuy]

Where in the world did you find that? It was easy but way over my head :)

[Magnum44]

Google it and post a funny pic 😂 I’m certain you’ve seen it, unless your under 20 maybe.

[ComputerGuy]

Got it.

[Magnum44]

Great 😁 The contest is still in play. You could be first to post the proof pic, gif, or meme.

[Magnum44]

The bonus game is afoot...

[gundog]

Got writer’s cramp, but I solved it.

[Magnum44]

There you go 🥳. I was wondering, with two people having solved the cryptogram, when someone was going to post a reply edible for contest entry. LOL.

[Magnum44]

Edible = eligible

[gundog]

Woo-hoo!! Doing these with my first cup of coffee is relaxing. When they’re posted after I’ve had a pot, it’s mania time. :)

Five minutes. This is the third puzzle this week with the "TNZNG" pattern, which opened up the rest of it for me.

Under a minute. I just sat there and typed in the letters as if I knew what it was going to say. Easiest one yet. GOOD ONE, too!
