Today’s Cryptogram

Posted on 01/28/2020 3:21:07 AM PST by nikos1121

Today’s CG is from The Arkansas Democrat Gazette

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: 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 1 minute.

Last two letters of the contraction, first word, that long word a bit after the contraction, off to the races.

This cryptogram is often true of other cryptograms. :-D

As long as one is green they keep growing, it is when one gets ripe the only thing left is to get eaten or rot on the vine.... (OR something like that)

A stab at “TAA”, the last three words, and just typing after that.

Good one today, but also.... If you are a creative person/artist/.... all you need is the general idea and you can take it from there... We just figure it out. We are always analyzing everything and how it was made and how we can make our own, without paying high prices for things...

Didn’t know whether I’d be able to solve this one. But then I did.

I kinda miss Futurama. FOX could lose one of the other Seth McFarlane shows for a while and run it.
