You can find this fun quotation puzzle, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications. I challenge us with the best ones out there. 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, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.

PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.

You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.

I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.

You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

Who’s afraid of the author?

[nikos1121]

Good one....

[nikos1121]

This is one where you throw a bunch of letters up there and words start to appear...

[cartan]

Super simple, especially with the hint :-)

Yeah, I just did the first “three-letter-word” and the second word popped out, and it was all downhill after that.

Look post #3.

Between 1 and 2 minutes.

hmmm

If that is the way the quoted talks everyday, I would be Afraid......

I saw it. Very clever. I always get hung up on trying to find some humorous hint. This one was challenging and arguably my hint is more morbid than humorous. But I enjoy dark humor.

I surprised myself, and only took about a minute and a half.
