Today’s Cryptogram

Today’s Cryptogram

From the Arkansas Gazette

VYA KPIC FAKFIA OYK PAHAN VQXZIA JNA VYKTA OYK PAHAN XKQPV VYA YMRY OMNA. —KFNJY OMPWNAC

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.


TOPICS: Chit/Chat
KEYWORDS: brain; cryptogram; puzzle; todayscryptogram
If you're just starting out on these, be patient, as you'll be proficient in no time.

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.

About 3 min. Everything moved pretty smoothly until 6th and 11th words. They were speed bumps for me. In the end, everybody got a car.

2 min, only one missed letter, as fast as I could click.
I did it without a net.

That went pretty quick. There were a few words in there I kind of know on sight now.

The author has made a very good living spouting the most simple-minded, self-evident cliches.
