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:
TO THE MIND THAT IS STILL, THE WHOLE UNIVERSE SURRENDERS. ---LAO TZU
Easy-peasy, 1:30. Second word is the key.
Not hard at all, but I’m not familiar with the author.
< 2 min.
4th letter of the contraction, 4th word, off to the races.
Solved it left to right, 2nd word contraction got me going in exposing unseen words.
Contraction...ABCA...easy peasy....
Well, that makes sense.
Along the line of ‘You will never know what you don’t know’
OR
I have an olfactory problem
Does that mean that because I CAN’T smell that I will NEVER smell?
Got it! ABCA was my opening and I forced my way through.
Once I got the gist of the saying it went very fast.
