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.
Send me a private reply if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.
Solving the puzzle under 8 minutes is good, under 6 very good, under 4 excellent and under two "you're a pro!"
Those of you looking for an added challenge can try to solve one sentence at a time, i.e. solve the entire first line, then go to the second line etc.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
It’s easier to work on the puzzle without having to use your pencil.
Solution to our last puzzle:
A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship. John D. Rockefeller
This was another challenging cryptogram, but worth the effort. Would be interested in the group's experience with the meaning of the quote. For me, it's pretty straight forward. We all have great friendships that started as partnerships in our work, but I can think of many examples of problems that arise from two friends, or family members who start a business out of friendship.
This doesn't mean you can't have a great business that friends and family put together, but if you put someone into business simply because they're your friend or a family member, and not because the business plan is sound, it can be a disaster.
Okay, that was a lot harder. That took me 10-12 minutes. What finally helped was identifying the 3 letter word that was inside the 4 letter word.
Wow!! Less than 3.....
Makes it a lot easier when first couple of ‘guesses’ are right....<: <: <:
