PLEASE JOIN OUR FUN AND LIVELY PING LIST (currently at 77 ) AND REGENERATE SOME NEW BRAIN CELLS.

Ok, had a little trouble sleeping last night, and I wasn't able to go back to sleep, so posting this little gem early.

I know a few of you get frustrated with these. I can tell you, from my own experience, sometimes the puzzle opens up quickly, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't you walk away and come back to it. And if that doesn't work...wake up "Hal".

However, I ran across this little video the other day. It's a bit long, so I'd recommend watching the first 5 minutes, then fast forward it.

This will surely boost your ego, as this fella, agonizes over this cryptogram, I suspect his very first. He's so green, he can't even see the ABCA sequence right in front of his face. He messes up on the "A" doubting himself, as he goes back to "I" ("I" is less likely going to be in the middle of a sentence.)

Anyway, grab a cup a coffee, and see how far you can get watching this poor chap, before you start screaming at him.

You all have a great day, and please keep the comments coming for all to see, on how you solved Today's Cryptogram!

That word with 2 double letters is now my open door. It’s one of those words I recognize right away now, thanks to this daily exercise!

Rather easy for me; which seems to be the only times I post. I successfully got one of the larger words, which gave me the author. Letters came to mind as a fast as light or warp speed after that.
