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 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 HARDEST THING TO LEARN IN LIFE IS WHICH BRIDGE TO CROSS AND WHICH TO BURN. ---DAVID RUSSELL
Another one that you sort of just read as you go.
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 interesting. Be creative with your replies 😝
Here it is (with anticipation and drum roll). Ready, set, solve:
“CX AEI CWWTHAZQ BTHMR TK YIZX OZJQ RZHAHI, ‘ZJ HILTCH, STOEIH’.” - NZHQ ROZNVQIH
Less than one minute.
5 MINUTES TO SOLVE THIS TIME.
or...
Pretty easy today. Short words easily guessable.
I’m glad. Should make your day.
Ron Paul’s couldn’t be more true.
Two minutes. Easy start but got stuck on the fifth word till I figured out the author’s last name. BTW, he has interesting features.
Good quote.
Was he the middle brother?
~1:30.
Maybe the father?
Pretty much.
Oh, that was a fast and easy one! (And funny). That 3rd word I recognized at first glance, so I was off to the races.
And did you figure out the first name? First and last letters are the same.
Yeah, I’m getting absolutely nowhere with that one.
