Today’s Cryptogram
MRMWCKOAYE CBT’RM MRMW ZSYKMP AF BY KOM BKOMW FAPM BV VMSW. ---EMBWEM SPPSAW
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:
The number one reason people fail in life is because they listen to their friends, family, and neighbors.---Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Hill was a young man when he met with Andrew Carnegie. The great American industrialist offered to introduce him to successful men of the time, including people like Edison and Ford. From his interviews with these men and women, along with further discussions with Carnegie, Hill discovered that there were commonalities in all successful people. He went on to put his theory in a book called Think and Grow Rich. The book is a blueprint of success for anyone, especially young people. It's easy to see, in my opinion, how our president follows these premises of success.
About 2 min. Got the contraction and the quote became fill in the blanks.
45 secs.
Contraction
POOF!
One of the better CGs, in my opinion...
ABAC-, the contraction....the KO digraph appears 3 times...
<---this.
3 min. Phone wouldn’t cooperate.
Better quote(agree) or more challenging? Because it fell into place as I transcribed the first 4 letters.
I like the ones that are quick to solve. Not to be lazy, but its a quick start to days that already have long agendas. :)
I think the group in general is getting pretty good at these, but I try to pick the ones that are quick.
It’s like opening a lock. You have a hand full of keys. Each CG has one or more keys that let you in. Once you’re in, it’s off to the races to write it out.
Kinda morbid...once contraction figured out it was ‘go time’ Izzy M.

Everyone is talking about contractions but for me the first word sprung out at me and everything else fell in place.
