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 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:
THERE AREN'T ANY GREAT MEN. THERE ARE JUST GREAT CHALLENGES THAT ORDINARY MEN LIKE YOU AND ME ARE FORCED BY CIRCUMSTANCES TO MEET. —-WILLIAM HALSEY JR
Es then contraction.
About 2 min. Get the “e”s and you are off and running.
About 2 minutes, but not sure if I got last name correct (the two missing letters made sense but I’m not sure if they were right).
5 1/2 minutes. Not a stellar performance.
I guess one could say that, especially if having some deep seeded ‘fears’, like walking or flying.....
1 minute.
Started with the last letter of the quote.
-PJ
Less than 3 minutes, but I had to ask...
2:34.25 I guessed the last word correctly on sight, and after that it was just typing.
Google the first word of the quote and your guess about the last name to check. Or google the entire quote.
That’s actually pretty profound!
1:24. True words.
