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 todays Cryptogram.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hals Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.
THE IN THING NOW IS TO SCROLL DOWN TO MAGNUM44S HELPFUL HINT BEFORE YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE.
Solution to our last puzzle:
I CAN GIVE YOU A SIX-WORD FORMULA FOR SUCCESS: THINK THINGS THROUGH--THEN FOLLOW THROUGH. ---EDDIE RICKENBACKER

You are not supposed to post the answer!
X and VJSJQ made it a 100 second job.
Oh crap - I’ve done that several times. I’ll stop responding.
....and how long did it take for you to solve it?
Don’t keep us in suspense!
I’m heading to the kitchen to make a PB&J sammich...
Like a good feast, I really enjoyed this one. My time was less than 2 minutes. Keep ‘em coming, nikos 1121
VJSJQ is the giveaway. After that, just typing.
Will be going back to the morning posts again tomorrow, Folks...
Don’t worry about it....just don’t do it again. LOL
Seriously, it’s not a big deal. It was removed before I got to the thread, so I’m fine with it. :D
