Today’s Cryptogram

BO EMA DQSS DIQ DKADI, EMA ZMJ'D IGPQ DM KQHQHNQK GJEDIBJW.---HGKR DVGBJ

Today's Cryptogram is NOT from 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.

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.

I haven’t even finished my first cup of cofevfee and you solved this?

[cartan]

Guess I got lucky :-)

[gundog]

Author, contraction...now I’ll solve.

[grey_whiskers]

Contraction, first two words, author, done.

[null and void]

Maybe 3 or 4 minutes, half asleep, blurry eyes no coffee, in the dark. *yawn* back to bed.

It’s BONUS puzzle time!!😝

Yes, it’s BONUS time once again. That laughable time when you get to solve a humorous quote from a classic funny movie, comedian, or entertainer. The trick is, unlike nikos puzzle where you don’t want to post spoilers, with the BONUS puzzle it’s a race for first solution posted, BUT you don’t post the solution directly, You post a funny pic ,gif, or meme that shows you solved it. First pic or gif wins the prize with full bragging rights. Honorable mentions for all original pic or gif posts.

I’ve got stacks of honorable mention awards laying about, so just because someone solves the quote first doesn’t mean you cant contribute to the fun.

Don’t get wrapped up in how easy or hard it is. Just solve it and post something funny and share the fun.

Today’s puzzle should be fun and easy. Be creative with your replies 😝

Here it is (with anticipation and drum roll). Ready, set, solve:

First one I’ve ever been able to complete ... thanks to Hal’s Helper.

I’d almost given up on these. But the first two words came to me, then the contraction and it was plug and play from there.

Maybe four minutes all told.

Thanks for these, nikos. I’m a player now!

[Magnum44]

I would tell you how quickly I solved this mornings but, but that’s outside my purview

Contraction, author, wham bam, thank you mam! 😂

[Magnum44]

Bonus posted 😀

[gundog]

[Magnum44]

And we have a winner🥇🤣 Congradulatons.

[Magnum44]

BTW, excellent post #9 🤣

[grey_whiskers]

That was a nice

reveal.

[xrmusn]

‘Stumbled’ onto the last word and it went down like Sherman marching through Georgia.....

East is East and West is West etc etc but don’t forget the Golden Spike.

[Magnum44]

I presume that EXCELLENT honorable mention was for me😍

[Yossarian]

Oh. My.

That’s enough to turn Sulu straight!
