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.
Another author I’m not familiar with.
2 min. Got the single letter word and single letter after apostrophe. Was then able to solve sixth word. The rest was fill in the blanks. Quote is so true.
Okay, that took me a while. The TYJ TM bit had me fooled for several minutes because I forgot the other alternative.
Just a little more forthcoming, please!
Didn’t see the ping this morning but found it anyway. :)
About 3 minutes.
Solution to our last puzzle:
LEADERSHIP IS A PRIVILEGE TO BETTER THE LIVES OF OTHERS. IT IS NOT AN OPPORTUNITY TO SATISFY PERSONAL GREED. — MWAI KIBAKI
Wow. 5 min till I got the last letter of the contraction then some short words,
Probably 4 minutes today, the contraction threw me off for a bit.
