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'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.
Solution to our last puzzle:
LAZINESS TRAVELS SO SLOWLY THAT POVERTY SOON OVERTAKES HIM. ---BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
First two words and then the author.
1 min. 1st two words, 3rd word, 7th word, off to the races.
(Obscure, I know, but I do love Shakespeare.)
I started with the long word. There aren’t too many with this pattern: RYRJQPIWES
This author is/was definitely ahead of his time but he sure hit it out of the park, one of the very FEW things that have NEVER changed but in essence got worse.
Of course, Willie S- through DtheB- was in the same ‘ball park’, also forseeing the future and perhaps it should have been acted upon then.
With the whole world upside down and getting nuttier daily, it is GOOD that your word puzzle is still here! Thank you for injecting a bit of sanity into an otherwise CrAzY world!
Finally, a really easy one! You have to give us an easy one from time to time so we don’t all give up! LOL
Thank you for posting these.
Hey now, I think I’ve just been insulted!
