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:
I DECIDED I CAN’T PAY A PERSON TO REWIND TIME, SO I MAY AS WELL GET OVER IT. —SERENA WILLIAMS
Wow...we both ‘hitting it’ early today.
There is that pesky author again.
Funny how when you are around ‘people’ and someone takes a group shot and you get to take a look at it and are ‘uninterested’ because you are NOT in it and wonder why they showed it to you then you spot a ‘chubby, older looking’ person who happens to be wearing a hat just like yours.
I always ‘excuse’ that with the line
‘I’ am not the same person that has been staring back at me in the mirror every morning.
I even was so naive and vein as to once (jokingly) say, My grandkids are lucky to have such a young looking grandfather, mine always looked old.
Hahahahaha
6 long minutes.
Hint: Attack QJKS and QJK
wowo, now that’s a stretch don’t ya think?
yeah, but I don’t want to be accused of giving it away. LOL
My favorite author.
That clue is like having a puzzle on the civil war, and you show a photo of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
I liked your first one better.
I must admit that some of your clues are better than the quotes....
4 minutes. A couple of false starts and then somehow spotted the author’s name and that blew it apart.
After I solved the puzzle, the picture was cracking me up for some unknown reason.
