Today’s puzzle comes from dollyCali.

No hint today but there are some nice examples of what to look for in a cryptogram puzzzle “before” you get started.

1. Check for suffixes that are similar esp 3 and 4 letter ones.
2. Look for words ending with the 2 same letters. Frequently these are “s” or as in this case something else.
3. A bunch of prepositions that may give you a clue to finding letters “t” and “a”

If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it here:

It’s easier to work on it without having to use your pencil.

7 min. If’d I’d stopped to think, I’d have remembered the quote and finished much sooner.
