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.
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.
I KNOW IT SOUNDS CORNY MAN, BUT I LIKE TO BRING FOLKS JOY, AND I LIKE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.---WOLFMAN JACK
That was fast!!! Hard to stump you.
Two minutes...guessed the first name, then just filling it in.
Guess the last two letters in JNM’P, then try GAP. It should be easy after that.
As I explained to my daughter, the reason you have a GACKLP is so that you can be happy. Having a GACKLP doesn’t guarantee that you will be happy, but not having one guarantees that you will not be. Sticking to a GACKLP is very good for your mental health.
Easy one, about 3 minutes.
Author’s first name.
hmmmm
Obviously it is why ‘they’ invented Chapters 7 & 11....
2 minutes. Figured out “M’P”, then the single letter, then filled in from there.
4 min on the phone before church.
Get the contractions.
Happened to me yesterday. Just open the wallet and let it flow!
hallelujah
Probably a couple of minutes today. I guessed the last letter of the contraction and it slowly opened up everything.
