Today’s Cryptogram is from The Arkansas Gazette.

4 minutes is good

2 minutes is excellent

Under 90 seconds is superior

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 ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!

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.

Contraction plus author equals ez solution.

[Jonah Hex]

Easy, two minutes.

[kalee]

Author and contraction and it was easy to solve.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Not as easy as yesterday’s, but not particularly hard.

[ComputerGuy]

Agreed

[southernindymom]

yep. Best way to start my work day right here

[gundog]

ABAC wasn’t what I first thought, but it was enough.

[nikos1121]

That word has come up, like 3 times in the last week?

[nikos1121]

Solution to our last puzzle. Simply scroll your cursor over the text while left clicking your mouse, and the words should appear.

[gundog]

Two, anyway.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

ABAC wasn’t what I first thought, but it was enough.

I was ready for it this time ;)

[nikos1121]

Me too!

[cartan]

Nice. Common letter and contraction made it rather easy.

[Stars&StripesNE]

Fell right into place. So true, too.

[xrmusn]

Got lucky starting with the contraction, guessing it correctly and the rest just fell like dominoes (NOT Fats).

2 min or so, maybe a bit less.

Most common letter.
3rd word, 4th word, 10th word, contraction.
The word “the” whereever it is.

Off to the races.
