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.
Solution to our last puzzle:
WHEN GRACE IS JOINED WITH WRINKLES, IT IS ADORABLE. THERE IS AN UNSPEAKABLE DAWN IN HAPPY OLD AGE. —VICTOR HUGO
About 3 min. Smell the roses along the way.
4 min.
More difficult than average. Guessing OUJ did if for me, but I should have recognized the first name of the author, the pattern QSIQ is distinctive.
Got the A, and it all followed.
Yes, a bit tricky, until you find the “E”, and I enjoyed “doing” the puzzle and its message.
Sometimes it’s weed, in Oregon, but I take your meaning.
Based on the responses guessed the 4th word, then just a matter of filling in...3 minutes.
Not familiar with the author though
Guessing NHJAKAJM solved it, at last.
Funny, I found joy in finishing the cryptogram.
3 minutes. Letter distribution was no help today.
A fairly hackneyed Hallmark sentiment - and one I strongly disagree with.
So here we are again, back to Globull Cooling! he he he
Doesn’t Al Gore ever get ANYTHING right?
NO!
OOPS that was for another thread....
Took a couple of minutes... Most of them sound like they were made up by MARIANNE WILLIAMSON, All New Age Hot Air! LOL But fun to decipher! Even an airhead can be entertaining some times! But wouldn’t make a good president!
And Amy Klobuchar says, “I’m not going to make promises just to get elected?” What???? No chicken in every pot?????? Dang!!!!!! I don’t know who irritates me the most, but Biden, Bernie, and Pocahauntus are pretty irritating!!!!!
That dumbasS5 AOC hopefully won’t run for president once sh reaches puberty age!
