Find the familiar suffix and the “E” and with today’s CG you’re home free.

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.

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 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.

This mornings was a challenge. About 5 minutes with a few false starts. 😀

[Magnum44]

Beautiful pic. Now solve post 3. 😀

[Lisbon1940]

This one was harder for me. Spoiler Alert: I took the image from here.

[Magnum44]

5 min. More difficult this morning. The suffix clue helped a little.

[grey_whiskers]

7 min.

At least 15 minutes. Guessing at the contraction letter and substituting high count letters for vowels eventually got me to guess the first word. The rest sort of flowed from there.

Good job! I don't get up early enough in the morning on a Saturday.

Gotta post a pic or gif.

[A_perfect_lady]

Okay, that was hard. That’s the one kind of contraction I always forget about.

[weston]

Got to thread late. Hahaha..great quote!

[Lisbon1940]

Ok, next time.

Whew. I had to go back to this one in the afternoon & it still took 10 minutes. We are on a seasons motif.
