Today's Cryptogram

Posted on 11/03/2024 4:05:07 AM PST by Lonesome in Massachussets

UY'K IGYUEIGC "SEO LE U QSGIVR YSR QCEQN EI XP XUQHEOGAR" GIL "ZUIGCCP YSR QCEQN UI XP QGH UK HUVSY GVGUI" LGP. - XP OUZR



TOPICS: Chit/Chat
KEYWORDS:
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.## ping list message

The pragmatic answer is to find your user manual

MIL-RTFM41C applies. (MIL-Read the ******* manual for once)

Who reads manuals? Isn’t that what husbands are for?

That was always my belief. I’m capable of adding or subtracting 1 hour in my head.
