Today’s Cryptogram

Posted on 02/12/2020 5:30:37 AM PST by nikos1121

Today’s CG is from The Arkansas Gazette.

J YGZZB PI BUN JKWJPM NU KJPT. KJPTGWZ PI JBUNDZW INZXXPBAINUBZ NU AWZJNBZII. —UXWJD SPBKWZL

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.

3 min. 1st, 4th, 6th words, and notice the letter combinations in common between 4th and 6th.

WOW....just another version of ‘you didn’t make that’

One way to ensure the ‘quote’ is to be completely in charge and have ALL the guns and people to handle them.

It has that ‘Chicago’ (not the band) type message.

It may also depend on which ‘gender’ one assigns ‘Q’ to...<: <: <:
