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:
LIGHT TRAVELS FASTER THAN SOUND. THIS IS WHY SOME PEOPLE APPEAR BRIGHT UNTIL YOU HEAR THEM SPEAK.---ALAN DUNDES
Back to the easy puzzles - 1 minute 10 seconds...
Don’t get cocky, that was NOT that easy...
1 wrong letter. 2 min on phone.
Took a lucky stab at the first word and then it was just a matter of filling in... ~90 secs.
All you can eat...
This one was easy. It’s the first time I was able to fill in the words in sequence. The first word was an obvious one, the second usually follows the first (ha ha), the third word was useless, the long word was common.
FUN!
Easy one, 1:30. Jimmy’s richer cousin.
Quick in sequence. About 1 min.
Especially when you have that government gravy train to ride on, eh?
C’mon....one word at a time start to finish, until you get to the author’s name......”ERUUIN ROMMELL”
It’s BONUS puzzle time!!😝
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.
I’ve got stacks of honorable mention awards laying about, so just because someone solves the quote first doesn’t mean you cant contribute to the fun.
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, well, you decide. Be creative (and G rated) with your replies 😝
Here it is (with anticipation and drum roll). Ready, set, solve:
"BAJAJKAB, LFGZ FGHHACD MC OASGD DZGID MC OASGD. APTAHZ YWB FABHAD. ZFGZ DF-Z'UU TWJA KGTQ LMZF IWE." - DMX
Our clues come from very different directions, lol.
