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.
Solution to our last puzzle:
SUCCESS SEEMS TO BE LARGELY A MATTER OF HANGING ON AFTER OTHERS HAVE LET GO. —WILLIAM FEATHER
Starting today, any time I post this author it will be by one name. I believe everyone will understand why
Beats me...
The beat goes on.
It does pay to listen, observe and learn....
Letter-frequency works this time. Sorta.
Bada bing bada boom!
This is one of these CG where you fly out of the gate thinking that you’ll solve it as fast as you can write in the letters, then there’s a snag....With me for some reason, I looked at the author’s name, and thought for sure it’s “Larry King”....and you can imagine where there took me...
2 min. Get the letter ‘E’ first, and then hit your rhythm.
5 minutes. A few wrong guesses slowed me down.
Finally. Got the fourth word and then just kept fumbling around.
OUOVH, OUOV, and JNGJ were hints.
