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.

HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER

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.

A quick little CG from today’s Arkansas Gazette.

The contraction will open this up like cracking into a ripe coconut.

Many short words, straightforward. Didn’t even bother to look at the contraction…

The contraction opened it up for me.

That isn’t ‘good’, that is PERFECT.

I moved into my house and had been working in asphalt for a few years and always had a Company vehicle.

About 15 years later my wife told me the neighbor next door wanted to park his car in the yard because he was getting his driveway done.

We were on the best of terms because he NEVER asked me...he either didn’t ‘know’ what I did OR he knew ME well enough to know there was no way in hell that I was going to subject myself to having to trouble shoot or critique the driveway in any form.

Tim the tool man thought HE had it good....
