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.
TREAT A MAN AS HE IS, AND HE WILL REMAIN AS HE IS. TREAT A MAN AS HE COULD BE, AND HE WILL BECOME AS HE SHOULD BE. RALPH WALDO EMERSON
Tricky but actually simple.
Author seems ‘hard headed’ - well - set in ways....
Words five six seven with grammer assist.
Most of author’s name.
Struggled with some big words
Don’t give up
Author’s first and middle names solved themselves.
This was a good one. Took me about three minutes — and I got the name first due to the double letter patterns.
Very appropriate. Thanks for posting these!
About 4 minutes.
Sentence preceding the one quoted: "Urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present."
Took a shot at the short words and author was evident, from there it was fill in the blanks.
Under a minute.
