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.

true enough...

When one considers Biden, Pelosi, HRC and the other ‘oldish’ pols who must make the world think that EVERYONE over 70 in this country is either drunk, stupid, idiotic, not have a lick of common sense or decency etc etc.

I truly resent the picture that the Pols are painting and tagging the rest of us with...

Oh, 81 for me and I would love to go mentally one on one with any of them (in a true atmosphere) and would accommodate JB with a round or two but I understand he broke his foot playing with his dog?????

BTW, I thought PDJT would have something to say about JB but he only sent his condolences...

Then again, the anticipation of what MAY be coming probably is good enough to make them wonder WTF....

I had to start over after about a minute, but once I got on track is was straightforward.

It was verrrry close. But I solved it under two minutes!
Word 10 then words 6-8-9
This quote is an eye opener for senior years. Not looking forward to it. I’m going back to bed. It’s raining anyway.

"but I understand he broke his foot playing with his dog?????"

LOL. Impossible. Have you seen his shoes? How did he keep upright after twisting ankle? He had to fall. Someone who can barely walk and keep balance would have multiple bruises and more broken bones. He ain't a spring chicken.

Where is Paul Harvey when we REALLY need him?

Lets look at the ‘rest of the story’....

Playing with his dog.....(Dog can be Bitch)

Broke his foot

Now maybe he was ‘playing’ with Kamala & or Jill and they pushed him away, he lost his balance and broke his foot.

Remembrance of Marion Barry

Are you asking from a “I dont feel old” perspective, or a “I am looking forward to the senior special pancakes and eggs” perspective?
