Today’s Cryptogram

V’CW RZSSVWQ Z EWY IWDIFW V HGDTFQL’B GZCW, MTB GZCWL’B YW ZFF? –RZRVW CZL QDSWL

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.


TOPICS: Chit/Chat
KEYWORDS: brain; cryptogram; puzzle; todayscryptogram
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.

One minute. The two one-letter words get you the first and third contractions, and the rest flows from there.

Not the easiest today 7 min.
The sentiment gave me no hints even once letters started filling in. Very droll sense of humor.
Other of authors quotes very direct & insightful. I looked up, the unfamiliar to me, author.
