Today’s Cryptogram

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.

[nikos1121]

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.

Solution to our last puzzle:

Little deeds of kindness little words of love make our earth an eden like the heaven above. Julia A. Carney

I've been asked about the use of the comma. Yesterday's puzzle had phrases that could be separated by a comma. I'm concerned that the comma might confuse therefore, I've tried to use it to:

1. Use it before a conjunction (i.e. "and", "but" "or")

2. Use it to separate phrases that will use "and" at the end ) e.g. People in their cars, trains, planes "and" automobiles, find many things to do.)

Yesterday's puzzle did not use the word "and" so I chose not to use the commas. I welcome any thoughts on this.

I thought for fun, every once in a while I’d throw in a humorous bonus puzzle. Don’t spoil nikos thread, but bragging rights to the first posted solution of the bonus. 😆

Here’s today’s bonus, for fun. Should be lots of clues.

[gundog]

Damn!! No coffee. Sorry. Meant to pm.

[Magnum44]

No problem. It wasn’t meant for pm, though that’s ok too I guess. You win the bonus. I’m actually stuck on nikos’ puzzle. It’s harder to me than I thought it would be. 😀

[Magnum44]

In the future though, for more fun, I think I’ll ask that replies come with appropriate picture 😂

[A_perfect_lady]

You know what? I can’t get this one. I got nothing. Can’t get a toe-hold anywhere.

[Magnum44]

Me too. How about a life line?

[1_Rain_Drop]

I think I’m doing ok.
So far, I have the first line, made up a big word and the author does not exist. Can’t even pronounce the name.
I think this cryptogram is in latin.. or Greek LOL

[nikos1121]

Thank you for this. I’ll look at this after church.

If anyone has a cryptogram that they’d like to submit, please send it to my private reply and I’ll post it with reference to you.

The author is a German

[nikos1121]

And a religious leader in his time...

[nikos1121]

You try using Hal?

[Magnum44]

Ok, got it. But I could not have without the author.

[1_Rain_Drop]

argghhh!
You messed up my first line with that clue!
The line was:
“The silk in webs”
I thought it had potential...

[A_perfect_lady]

Okay, that did it. Thank you! That was a tough one.

[nikos1121]

Haha
