Today’s Cryptogram

Please note: I am fully aware that today’s quote has been attributed to many people, but the general consensus is that this person was the first quoted.

You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications.

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!"

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.

2 min. Well known quote. Author is a favorite of mine. Remember the fallen on this Memorial Day.

A favorite, words to live by.
Straight forward 3 min.

2 min. There’s a three-letter word near the end with the last two letters the same; get that then the name.

Too familiar to be challenging.

[xrmusn]

An appropriate answer if someone thought his last name was ‘cataract’.

Also, like a Yogiism or Satchism may not have said it first but certainly would have had they thought about it first.

This is what Jon Voigt was talking about.

See my advise in post #5.

There are only three non-apostrophe words in English, which have three letters, and the last two letters are identical.

Try them one at a time.
