Today’s Cryptogram
NEA FZWA T XAA ZQ MAAW, NEA FZWA T BMFTWA NEAF BX FZVSNBTSAAWX. –LZES FVTW.
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.
Solving the puzzle under 8 minutes is good, under 6 very good, under 4 excellent and under 2 "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.
Another easy one. But fun! I like those!
about 2 minutes, second word is key!
...am I still on your list?
And, yes, I am logged on ...
Sorry for not pinging everyone
LOL, I’m glad it wasn’t just me. :-)
PLEASE JOIN OUR FUN AND LIVELY PING LIST (currently at 66!)

I was left off, too. It’s become part of my daily routine!
I loaded this from my iPad. Must not have downloaded. My apologies to all. Ill make a point of posting “much””. Earlier tomorrow. Lol
2 min, Let’s hear it for the hoofers.
Nice one.
Well, today I found out that I am 100% addicted to the daily cryptos. Today’s morning coffee was very lonely as I was bordering on a panic attack.
I needed an ESC (Emotional Support Cryptogram) and you pinged.
Thank you! LOL
A day without a CG is like a day without sunshine....
‘Paranoid’ me figured you dropped me because I pointed out you had a double send the other day...
It ain’t paranoia if they ARE chasing you...<: <: <:
Second day in row I am drawing a COMPLETE blank...even seeing yesterdays result didn’t ‘ring a bell’...
Not to make a mountain out of a molehill, but I didn’t get to start this one til after work today. it went as fast as I could fill in the letters.
