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.

Got ‘lucky’ on correctly guessing double letter and considered date etc it was Katy bar the door, off to the races etc etc etc

I have often said all that needs to be done when the athletes act foolish before a game PDJT should just loudly thank them for praying for the country etal.

Before long the ACLU and their minions will be demanding they stop and all will be well again.

Perfect! Before looking at any of the clues, I saw the author and took a stab at it - turns out my hunch was right and the rest of the puzzle just filled itself in.

Happy 4th of July, all!!
