KEYWORDS: todayscryptogram
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.

Took me longer than it should. Very appropriate to the holiday.

I was refusing to accept word ten until I looked it up. Still does not seem right.

I guessed the first two words right off the bat, and after that is was home cooking. A little basting, some cranberry sauce, and all set.

But is the author related to In a Gadda da Vida?

If she says so....

Remember— in a ham and egg breakfast the chicken makes a contribution but the pig makes a commitment

Just saw where the turkeys were at the White House (the two legged winged kind).

I have been waiting for a long time for someone to STOP the ‘tradition’ of pardoning the turkeys,

Good a time as any for PDJT to do it, he ain’t gonna get in more trouble by doing to them what they were bred to do...<: <: <:

I'll rate this 1.5 on a scale of 10 for profound sayings... being generous due to the holiday season and all that.
