Today’s Cryptogram
TVQGQKIYWIL ABTAPB DKZB TIB QDWIL WI MTOOTI: KI KRGTPVQB GBIGB TU OWGGWTI. ---JWL JWLPKF
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.
Today’s puzzle is from the Arkansas Gazette.
Solution to our last puzzle:
NO ONE CAN BE SO WELCOME A GUEST THAT HE WILL NOT ANNOY HIS HOST AFTER THREE DAYS. ---PLAUTUS
The in thing is to scroll down to "Magnum44's" hint before you work on the puzzle!
‘bout 3 minutes. Get that second word.
Maybe the author’s name would help, too.
About 2 and 1/2 min. The second word was the key for me. Like the author’s positive encouragement.
We think alike. I posted my comment before I saw yours.
That’s actually pretty profound.
Didn’t get anywhere until I recognized the pattern of the second word. I’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see if I guessed the missing letters of the name correctly...
In my head - took about five minutes, no paper or writing instrument.
Very unusual name of author. Believe it or not, the starting point.
i spent 5 minutes on it. No way I could get the author. I had to look it up. :(
haha
