Today’s Cryptogram
RGJZ QC K CZDQGNC IZMEKR UQCZKCZ. --WRKEG
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 as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.
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.
Solution to our last puzzle:
PEOPLE DON'T BUY WHAT YOU DO, THEY BUY WHY YOU DO IT. SIMON SINEK
Nailed it.
This guy was a real cynic. Not saying he was wrong or anything...
Woo Hoo! 45 secs. My best ever I think.
Whoa. I read the first three words and author just looking at it. I used Hal’s to get the last three words.
2 min. One letter word and sentence structure helped.
Yes, and I’ve been “committed” for it. (With the alimony to prove it)
Its that time again....funny BONUS QUOTE!!!
Don’t spoil nikos quote, but the bonus quote is a race for first answer AND most creative reply. To win in either catagory you must reply in the form of a pic, gif, or meme that proves beyond a shadow of doubt you figured the answer. First place to first solution, honorable mention to most creative reply.
The quote is going to be something silly/humorous from movies, a comedian, or other entertainer.
Anyway, the contest starts.....NOW!

Minute and a half. I think that’s my best ever time.

I see you have a winner, but I love this movie and the opening song.
I didn’t realize the dog was so ‘deep’....
That was lightning fast....
Speedy Gonzalez- This won’t hurt. DID IT?
Is sthis supposed to be ‘harder’???
I started with the first word and NEVER looked down or back.
Some things just get passed from generation to generation no matter how hard ‘WE’ say we will NEVER use those trite old sayings.
One I never use unless in a situation where old chestnuts are being bantied about...
Never put anything in your ear smaller than your elbow.
AND....(a personal favorite)
What do you call a boomerang that doesn’t come back?
A STICK...
Not necessarily harder, it’s more for humor, to bring a smile. Sometimes just being silly. The bonus was to have folks not just solve the quote, but recall the movie character who said it and post a funny pic.
I could make them hard, but that might defeat the purpose.
Gotcha! I was also trying to be somewhat ‘light’
Thanks!!
