Today’s Cryptogram

KTR TODFRNK KTYZV KU WRODZ YZ WYMR YN HTYJT EDYFVR KU JDUNN OZF HTYJT KU ELDZ. ---FOCYF DLNNRWW

Author of today’s quote

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.

It took me all day going back and forth to get yesterday’s but it was worth it.

Today, less than one minute. Still worth it.

It was meant to be funny and show how worthless google is.

Sometimes it is difficult to resist the temptation to just google the pic of the author to get the author’s name. That would be cheating ;-)

Are you talking about copy and pasting this into a decipherer? Yes, there a few out there. Just Google Cryptogram Solver.

Some of you have noticed, if you right click the picture, and click on properties, you get the person’s name.....sometimes.
