Today’s Cryptogram

Posted on 02/02/2020 3:46:08 AM PST by nikos1121

Today’s CG is from me

A NXDU WXP TUOJPKU VX EIX KVXIGNJRUK JSU JNARU, JVC AE AK BXKKATNU, AG WXP KEJVC EABBW-EXU, EX IJNR TUEIUUV ELU SJAVCSXBK.---VARRA YAXDJVVA

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.

Made me smile.

Good morning!

But how do we know what is asserted in the first clause? Have we inspected every one of them? There may be a twin.

Common letter and the short words opened it up.

Doppelgänger as a plot device is so Eighteenth Century.

... and I’ve never managed the feat described in the last clause.

I think author, who I met very long ago when we were both very young, would probably identify with that time....

Author must be a model and a skinny one at that.]

Like we used to say in the Asphalt (outdoor) Business about getting wet in a storm...

The first drop is the Lord’s doing, all after that you are on your own....(or something like that)
