You can find this fun quotation puzzle, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications. I challenge us with the best ones out there.

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, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.

PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.

You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!

I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.

You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

Solution to our last puzzle. Simply scroll your cursor over the text while left clicking your mouse, and the words should appear.

REAL CHANGE, ENDURING CHANGE, COMES ONE STEP AT A TIME. RUTH BADER GINSBERG

5:06.67 I was distracted by the LBD

[ComputerGuy]

A Christmas Story comes to mind.

I was more distracted than I realized. Wrong quote, but still a nice picture.

Using the HCH I solved the puzzle as fast as I could click letters. Very addictive. Probably defeats the purpose, though.

Before getting a cell phone I actually knew people's numbers; now, I couldn't reach my children without it. Before GPS, I could find any address in the country; now, I might get lost in my town without it.
Hmmm.

4:58.40. Should not take more than 3:00 it you recognize the author.

Had a hard time relating picture to puzzle, but you are right, it is a nice picture.

[cartan]

Nice and quick…

I couldn’t wait so I peeked at the Arkansas Gazette website.

It changes everyday, so here’s today’s AG cryptogram, related to my first solution:

M’SS KYXR ODHVMWF ISHUT OJDW YJDG QHTD H NHVTDV UXSXV. - ODNWDKNHG HNNHQK

Hmmm

Isn’t that what affirmative action was SUPPOSED to accomplish?

But when it comes to constructing something, a building, driveway etc the TOP usually is no better (for the most part) than the ‘BOTTOM’.

Well I am late to the thread today, and I can’t think of something funny to post about this quote, so here are some squirrels exercising.

It’s not just a good idea. It’s the law.

[SolidRedState]

A few common words and author stands out, after that fill in the blanks.

[nikos1121]

Huh?

[nikos1121]

Sorry today’s not from there.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

My bad, I shot from the hip. The graphic was just so perfect. I just hope I didn’t spoil a potential future puzzle.
