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 cryptogr)am).

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.

I'm living through the experience -at the present moment- of the 1st part of that statement is NOT true. I'm on an Atlantic crossing, on a cruise ship. 1st 9 days were beautiful. The last 2 days up to currently, it has been like this:

After I splashed some water on my face, the solution came to me like a large wave.

Sort of like pulling a dog sled. Unless you’re the lead dog, one day is pretty much like the next.

Fortunately, I have never experienced sea sickness. Just anxiety when the ship rocks and then shakes.

I got everything, except the name. I know where the quote came from, but the cryptogram doesn’t align with who the quote is attributed to. Unless I made a pretty obvious mistake, which I cannot see.
