Today’s Cryptogram

Today’s Cryptogram

DUHQDO DJM IF JM FCASFHFBN TUYFSVXB YJN AU FCTSFOO J HFOOJZF. –OJMRSJ IFBB-BXMRN

Today’s CG is courtesy of the Arkansas Gazette.

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.

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.

About 30 minutes. I assumed the one-letter word and made a guess at the second, third, and fourth words. I then substituted some letters until I figured out "TUYFSVXB" and the rest opened up for me.

Wrong guesses led me astray, had to start over several times until I finally got it right.

Took a shot at the F, guessed the one letter word, which gave me words 2-4.....then stared at it until word 5 became apparent.

This one was tough. Had to walk away several times due to life but finally got it. I’m not sure exactly how I finally broke through.

Don’t/Didn’t recognize the author but it is definitely a true statement.

Al Capp - for one - surely had the future predicted way back in the 40s...

Dick Tracy wrist radio...Computers
Sadie Hawkins day.....Modern Female liberation
Shmoos....Federal Government ‘give aways’

etc etc etc
