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.

Clue for today’s puzzle. Simply scroll your cursor over the text while left clicking your mouse, and the letters should appear.

G=Y

After the last couple of puzzles being slam dunks for me, I struggled a bit with today’s (~ 5 min).

the sentiments of puzzle: back at ya Nikos and thank you for your time and effort posting these puzzles.

Thanks for YOUR efforts in providing the 'daily fix'.....

To nikos & ALL

Have a Happy & Prosperous New Year

Maybe THIS YEAR the 'pundits' and associated people will report the NEWS as and when it happens, not say what will be done in a few days etc...

Lets put 'Chicken Little' out of his/her/its misery OR a least to bed.....
