Sometimes the longer the quote the easier it is. Take note that the same letters appear in some of the 2 and 3 letter words, as well as in the 3 and 5 letter words. Also the commas should provide you with a word.

Solution to our last puzzle is in the first reply below.

You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications, unfortunately they are copyrighted so we can't use them here. So, we're just going to make up our own.

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.

If you can solve this under 8 minutes you're good. Under 5 minutes is very good. Under 3 excellent. Under 2 minutes, exceptional.

Send me a private reply if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.

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.

Let me know if you want on or off our Cryptogram Ping List.

Solution to our last puzzle:

Dude, I don’t think you’re supposed to spoil it for everyone else.😒

First time trying this and I did not see any rules regarding how to respond, so I took a stab. My apologies to the cryptophiles out there...

[nikos1121]

Oops... you can surely send these to my private reply, as others are still working on the solution....

Good job, BTW.

[nikos1121]

This is true, and that’s my fault. I usually post the spoiler alert.

Good job, this was not as easy as it looks. Do you want on our CG Ping List?

[Magnum44]

I’m sure you’re forgiven. I don’t think that was a posted rule, but I suspect it’s implied. 👍

[nikos1121]

I usually post the rules, and will tomorrow. Don’t you want on our CG List? :-)

[Magnum44]

Sure. Thx. 😁

[A_perfect_lady]

Okay, I’m getting pretty good at this now. The one-word names help, though, because you know there’s only so many of them. =)

[nikos1121]

See? And just one week ago you were lamenting your efforts....Good job!

[nikos1121]

Great, you’re #36.

Oops... you can surely send these to my private reply, as others are still working on the solution....

Mea culpa. If they don't scroll down, my response won't be visible...

Learning encryption in post-grad school was intriguing and this is a great mental exercise. I appreciate you posting.

[Magnum44]

your’re #36

I am not a number. I am a man.

😆

[nikos1121]

Good one, however, did you see the article from the American Psychology Assoc. that men need to be “less manly?”

[nikos1121]

How did you figure it so fast?

[Magnum44]

I did. Here is my reply to APA:

I recently saw Mule. Generic but vintage Clint Eastwood. Of course critcs blasting him.

I thought it was entertaining.
