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.

2019 Cryptogram Solvers Hall of Fame

Over the next few days I will list the names of Today’s CG puzzle solvers admitted to THE HALL OF FAME

The selection is based on the consistency of effort, fun, creative, sometimes goofy and lively commentary, and their general enthusiasm.

In addition their choice reflects their skill and temerity of purpose in the solving of these daily CGs and their support for this posting.

On February 26th, (The first day of Lent), I will name three Hall of Famers, and give a $25 donation to Free Republic in their behalf.

Congratulations to Today's Cryptogram Hall of Famer: cartan;

cartan, our German friend, has been a CG solver for a long time. One of the most supportive followers who rarely gets stumped on a CG, and his primary language is German! Congratulations!!!

Solution to our last puzzle:

WHAT LIES BEHIND US AND WHAT LIES AHEAD OF US ARE TINY MATTERS COMPARED TO WHAT LIES WITHIN US. ---SOURCE OBSCURE

About 2 min. 10 sec. Author’s first name got me going. Gamble paid off.

This guy took one and got lucky. Some math and geometrical planning involved to pull this off successfully

Okay, that was about 4 minutes. The first name was not too hard, and from there, I managed.

I took an educated guess on the fourth word and it was worth taking.

Played with common letters, then got the author. Rest followed easily.
