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.
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.
ACTING TOUCHES NERVES YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER.--ALAN RICKMAN
First three words and off you go.
On a difficulty scale of 1-10, about a 1. We can all use a break occasionally.
Yes, that is a good start.
The author was (literally) smarter than Einstein. But it was all by intuition not mathematical formalism.
First three words, which could only be maybe 3 different combinations, opened it up. Not sure I understand the sentiment, though.
Yes, a very sad story, very sad.
He had the patents for the first radio, but Marconi stole them. He had the patents and royalties for AC current, but gave them away. J. P. Morgan reneged on promises, and of course Edison screwed him over from the start.
In short, he died penniless in a cheap hotel.
Makes sense in a twisted sort of way.
Especially if one has been ‘neutered’.
good one and fast
Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration - Thomas Edison.
His [Thomas Edison] method was inefficient in the extreme, for an immense ground had to be covered to get anything at all unless blind chance intervened and, at first, I was almost a sorry witness of his doings, knowing that just a little theory and calculation would have saved him 90 per cent of the labor. But he had a veritable contempt for book learning and mathematical knowledge, trusting himself entirely to his inventor’s instinct and practical American sense. In view of this, the truly prodigious amount of his actual accomplishments is little short of a miracle. - the current author
The FBI seized all his notebooks but couldn’t make sense of them....true?
And needs permission.
I don’t know about neutered but they do take up a lot of your free time.
My husband got a great laugh out of this quote. Apparently, I am “bringing him down.” LOL
