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.

IT’S NOT FORESIGHT OR HINDSIGHT WE NEED. WE NEED SIGHT, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. WE NEED TO SEE WHAT’S RIGHT IN FRONT OF US. REAL LIVE PREACHER

Less than two minutes. I got lucky on some short words and carried it from there.

I had to cheat a little to get one letter of the name, though. LOL.

By crazy coincidence, that happens to be the launch code for a missile in Montana targeting Novosibirsk, Russia.

It’s like that crossword puzzle that had all the code words for D-Day.

Meh, stumped at first.

Worked out word two, then I “saw” word one, then went
to the vowels

Besides frequency, a lucky guess on the ninth word opened it up for me, 4 minutes.

I guessed on the name and got lucky. Still, it took me 12 minutes.

Went down a number of dead ends. The first two words should be all you need, and actually, not that difficult to figure out. But not for me.
