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.

Enjoy today’s cryptogram and have a TERRIFIC TUESDAY.

I’ve never been a fan of The Boss, but he makes a decent puzzle.

Well, it flowed fairly well once I realized that "Hal's Crytogram Helper" had screwed up the spacing of the letters within words. What looked like a one-letter word followed by a two- or multi-letter word actually turned out to be one actual word.

It threw me for a minute until I started comparing the actual cryptogram words with the way that "Hal" was spacing them in the helper.

Last letter of last word, then 15th word.

Good L uck.
