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.

32 minutes. Hint: Peace principles

[Steven Tyler]

Yesterday was a struggle
Today was fill in the blanks!!!

Words 8 and 12.
Last two words

[Magnum44]

The author also said “if you want to make enemies, try to change something”. Seems contemporary....

[Jonah Hex]

Easy, one minute.

Would be laughed/run out of town with such a statement today.

Close to another great statement from an earlier day

We must hang together or surely we will hang separately.

[Stars&StripesNE]

I lucked out - it fell into place right away.

[Parley Baer]

For me, the hint of the first two words made this one easy for me. With those the name of the author also became clear and it was all downhill from there.

Good quote for these days
