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.
The key to solving today’s puzzle are in words 6, 7 and 8.
I think most of you will get this quickly....
I DID NOT MEAN TO DO THAT
I can’t believe I did that - I hit the abuse button - hope they will remove it.
Seriously Baby Freep? Better ask mod to remove your post. lol
Haha!

I think I once posted “Today’s Cryptogram” in “Solution to Yesterday’s Puzzle.”
No one noticed. lol
No one will notice your baby blunder
I got the quote but had to google the author to decrypt G. I don’t share the author’s affections.
That’s how I did it.
Right, those are guessable indeed.
Think of those cold days in Boston with nothing to do but stay indoors and write.
Four minutes, after a cold start.
Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry Deep!!!!!
I guess that falls into the category of read it a few times and you convince yourself that a genius wrote it...
BUT
You spend the rest of the day wondering why you did that.<: <: <:
It’s not that they go unnoticed. Rather that FReepers like me are not willing to call you out for obvious miss-steps. I enjoy your daily threads too much to be nit picking at your rare errors. You’re conscientious enough to catch them yourself without me harping at you.
TNX again for these threads
