Today’s Cryptogram

Posted on 03/26/2020 12:54:37 AM PDT by nikos1121

Today’s cute CG is from The Arkansas Gazette.

DO GRAO R MGCJMO OAOEPHRP EOTREHJIT WGO RWWJWXHO DO DJZZ OSQERMO BCE WGRW HRP. —MGREZOK E. KDJIHCZZ


TOPICS: Chit/Chat
KEYWORDS: todayscryptogram
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'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.

Good way to start the day. Got the single letter, then it was word by word to the end. My mind and body is right for the day. Hope all CGers have a good day and stay safe.

Four days in a row in my head. They seem harder every day, but maybe that’s because after it’s done it appears easy?

BTW, I think that when used as an adverb OAOEPHRP is two words. As an adjective one word. Merriam-Webster and https://www.grammarly.com/blog/ support me. It was one of the first words I got and it made me question my solution, which would not be as big an issue if I was using electronics or paper.

Grrrr. Grammar Nazi alert. The fifth word should be two words.

I will refrain from reporting this fact until I give in and resort to pencil or electronics.

I think that fifth word should be two different words also.
