Today’s Cryptogram
SNU UXTGAFUB ZUYUBVGGF ZUSK SNU UXTGAFUUK NU EUKUBDUK. --- O. TVMG ZUSSF
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.
THE IN THING NOW IS TO SCROLL DOWN TO MAGNUM44’S “HELPFUL HINT” BEFORE YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE.
Pretty much a true statement.
I used to tell those that said his/her boss was an idiot’
‘Well he hired and pays you doesn’t he?’
BTW
This doesn’t appear to have come across on the ‘group’ list as of a few minutes ago....
I ‘stumbled’ on it while checking the site out...
Solution to our last puzzle:
A NEWSPAPER IS A CIRCULATING LIBRARY WITH HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. ARTHUR “BUGS” BAER
2 min. Straightforward and workmanlike.
More true than ever! LOL!
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 easy. Be creative with your replies 😝
Here it is (with anticipation and drum roll). Ready, set, solve:

3 min. My time was filled, but it lasted forever.
You decide.🤣
You don’t have to be crazy to work here, we’ll train...
3 minutes on the main one and 2 minutes on the bonus!
Nasty?
I would have gone with eerie...
You had me googling the capital of Florida and Hostess ;)
