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.

OOPS! I don’t know how that happened...

But I bet if you solve the first one, the second will be a whole lot easier,,,

Ha, Ha. Ha!

XHHKN should be: SWHKN

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Try:

MZ [DEE] YSKM MQDO D YEWSIKS WL - EZKSDUJ SWHKN, LODU OUZY L3 Z7, “JDN KT OQZ JKBZ”

[Apple Pan Dowdy]

[ComputerGuy]

The typo adds an extra wrinkle.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

It sorta outside of the rules, however. It was an easy enough puzzle anyway, I suppose.

[MustKnowHistory]

Yep.

[Magnum44]

[FroggyTheGremlim]

No!

XHHKN is correct. SWHKN is not the speaker of this quote.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

It sorta outside of the rules,

I am not aware of "the rules."

[doorgunner69]

Not a fan, but knew something was off.

[scrabblehack]

So why does Worf have to explain it in the remake of TTWT?
And why doesn’t he really explain it?

[manna]

Thanks.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

I looked up TTWT and got “Tractor Time With Tim?!?”

[scrabblehack]

The Trouble With Tribbles
The Next Generation one wasn’t called that but I was too lazy to look up the episode’s title.

I’ve been out of town, so I just did this one. Seems like we’ve seen this quote before.
