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.

It’s kind of like saying….. we really will never know the virus was an intentional bio weapon unless someone finds some evidence and spills the beans on it.

A complicit press buries many things that are turned up.

About 10 minutes. I started with the letter after the apostrophe in the contraction. I had several wrong tries at finishing the contraction until one of them clued me into CD and ODSCG. That got me the third word, then the first word, and then the rest of the puzzle.

Fast. Started with letter after apostrophe. Then second letter of first word, then finished first word and on from there.
