TODAY’S CG WAS HARD FOR ME UNTIL I LEFT IT AND CAME BACK, AND THEN AFTER SOLVING THE 4TH WORD IT WAS OFF TO THE RACES. ANYTHING UNDER 6 MINUTES IS A GOOD SCORE TODAY.
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 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.
THE IN THING NOW IS TO SCROLL DOWN TO MAGNUM44’S “HELPFUL HINT” BEFORE YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE.
Solution to our last puzzle:
NEVER SAY YOU KNOW A MAN UNTIL YOU’VE DIVIDED AN INHERITANCE WITH HIM. --- JOHANN KASPAR LAVATER
All but 1 letter of the last name, 2 min.
4 minutes. Started with the word after the comma.
It took me probably 5-6 minutes today. I need the picture clues throughout the post. I made an educated guess on the first word then I was off to the races.
Good one!
Clever
Somehow I stumbled onto the 3rd word and was able to pick it loose from there.
