I like both puzzle links. Apparently Cryptogram does not post every day. How might I catch it?

I got it. Thanks GOP Congress. I was fun.

Not too, too hard to figure out.

The best way to catch any of Nikos' fine cryptogram posts you may have missed is by typing "cryptogram" in the Search box on most Free Republic pages. It will provide a list of all his posts from newest to oldest, so you don't have to scroll the post list every time to see if you missed one or not.

If you like bookmark this link and it will do exactly that without having to use the search box every time: CRYPTOGRAM SEARCH.

Note you can access all my quotefall puzzles by searching using keyword "quotefall" in the same manner.

One more thing: If you really appreciate these puzzles and all other content that Mr. Robinson puts out for us, DONATE to the site so we can continue to post these. Thanks!
