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 cryptogr)am).

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.

OFLZLJI and then author

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

The two most common letters begin and end the same three letter word. Not very hard after that.

[SaveFerris]

True

That’s actually where I first started but wound up going astray for a bit until I hit my word there

[Magnum44]

[ComputerGuy]

First word

[manna]

Thanks.

[gitmo]

The author was a giveaway. Everything else fell into place quite quickly.

[SaveFerris]

I struggled for a bit trying to solve the other part

Once I got my word then author

Oops 😬
