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.

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.

HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER

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. Simply scroll your cursor over the text while left clicking your mouse, and the words should appear.

GREAT SOULS HAVE WILLS; FEEBLE ONES HAVE ONLY WISHES. CHINESE PROVERB

We have an easy one today, IMO.

3 minutes good
2 minutes excellent
1 minute superior

If you can solve it line by line you get a gold star.
If you can solve it word for word you are in the Hall of Fame.

Very good one. I found this a bit harder than yesterday’s for some reason.

Interesting...today’s most common letter, which is often in the top two or three, was present only once yesterday. That didn’t help.

I am not sure if this applies to today’s lefties and Trump.

Interesting quote

Almost line by line BUT with HAL’s help.

The Flak is heavier over the target.
