Today’s Cryptogram

PZSH ZK Y SPEUHJ ES UTZDT PEGH ZK CTH TEAHO. ---GZDCEJ TXRE

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.

Nice. Last word was a bit difficult to guess…

[gundog]

Yeah. Puzzle could use some “B”s.

[freedom1st]

2 and 1/2 min. A sweet quote to start the day.

[grey_whiskers]

3 min. Last word drove me crazy.

[Jonah Hex]

Six minutes. Likewise, the last word did me in.

Agree, the quote doesn't make sense unless you add the "b"s to the process. ;-)

[Jonah Hex]

Also, please add me to your daily cryptogram ping list. Thx!

I guessed the 6th word first, which filled in a lot, the I recognized the name, but I actually had to Google the quote to fill in the last word (although when I saw it I thought “Oh, right. Duh.”

[Magnum44]

[null and void]

About 3 minutes.

Should bee:

Do I make you honey, bay bee?

[nikos1121]

Yes, the last word makes the quote special.

You’re getting pretty good at these...

Tomorrow has your favorite word in it... (maybe)...

[Moltke]

That last word made me a bit miserable...

[nikos1121]

Why?

[Political Junkie Too]

About an hour. I guessed at the one, two, and three letter words until others started to emerge.
