Today’s Cryptogram

TOPICS: Chit/Chat
KEYWORDS: todayscryptogram
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.

JOIN OUR PING LIST AND GET THEM DELIVERED TO YOUR DOOR!

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 later, and usually it’ll open up.

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. If you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram just ask the group.

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.

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

Solution to our last puzzle:

THE BEAUTY OF THE WORLD HAS TWO EDGES, ONE OF LAUGHTER, ONE OF ANGUISH, CUTTING THE HEART ASUNDER. VIRGINIA WOOLF

Heh, nice! Simple because of common letter and contractions.

Two minutes as well.

But don’t forget the “wife goggles” phenomenon.

That one was the kind I like: enough clues that it goes along briskly enough, but a few false paths to make me feel like I had to put forth at least a little effort. LOL!
