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.
Welcome to: FroggyTheGremlim
Solution to our last puzzle:
I have everything, yet have nothing, and although I possess nothing still of nothing am I in want. ---Terence
About 2 and 1/2 min. “Larry, let’s take a look under the hood.”
I ran through it in a few minutes.
That four letter word isn’t the author’s real first name.
Huh?
The easiest.
If you see a snake, kill it. Don’t appoint a committee on snakes.
Once discovered the first name was NOT Will, it got fairly easy.
Go ahead and drain the swamp, don’t sit around expecting everyone else to....
Oh, that’s a good one! Took about 3 minutes, the repeated word led to the author’s name — and he was a favorite of mine.
To me, he will always be the guy who gave us Bill Clinton and the irreparable harm that did to the country.
I’ve often seen it as “H. Ross Perot.”
A River Runs Through It <— very cryptic hint.
Yes, BC was an example of ‘allowing’ someone to get nominated - just to shut him/her up - and hope they slink off into the sunset when they get soundly defeated.
RP tossed a monkey wrench into the gear box BUT, having done his ‘dirty deed’, it is a shame he didn’t take the ‘popularity’ seriously and mounted a third ‘choice’ in parties...20%+- on first try is virtually impossible, with some work and some viable candidates we maybe could have avoided this $hiite $torm we have been going through since RR held the reins, PDJT is a refreshing change BUT apparently, all left in the horizon are just cookie cutter, carbon copies of the garbage WE keep sending back.
Well....I wasn’t fast but I did it. Finally.
These are enjoyable - I like to figure out stuff.
