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.

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. Puzzle solvers love to hear if you found the CG challenging or easy.

You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.

If you're just starting out on these, be patient, as you'll be proficient in no time.

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 or even one word 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:

You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.

LIFE IS A QUEST AND LOVE A QUARREL. HERE IS A PLACE FOR ME TO LIE. EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY.

Another national puzzle from the Arkansas Gazette. Stumped a lot of people.

Spoiler alert.... don't scroll down. Is there a prize for working it out mentally without pen, paper or any sort of aid?

For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW

What stops AXYDLBAAXR from being CODSWALLOP?

You don’t ping me anymore! Are you mad at me because I don’t like Emily Dickinson??

[Magnum44]
