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.
ALL STRANGERS AND BEGGARS ARE GIFTS FROM DEUS, AND A GIFT THOUGH SMALL IS PRECIOUS. HOMER
First word.
Yep.
3:24.95
Hey, I beat 3:25! Nothing special.
first word, contraction.
single letter word
common letter
author first name
rest of the vowels
bio says its socially conscious, figures
This one seemed difficult at first but then was not. I focused on the contractions and quickly found my way.
Yes, after many false starts on the 2nd contraction messing me up; I should’ve done the common letter first and it would have been easy.
4 min; but I haven’t had any coffee yet.
A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma
Almost did with eyes ‘closed’.
I have a great variation to the quote but too close to the posted version so will ‘try’ this one.
Young man walked into a bar and sat down next to a beautiful woman.
They chat for a while and he finally gets up the nerve to ask for a date.
She politely tells him that he was a nice guy and all but was a lesbian and wasn’t really interested.
He asked ‘What is a lesbian’ and she went on to explain it to him.
She left and he started crying and the bartender came over and told him to ‘buck it up, you are a good looking young guy and there are plenty of women out there’
and gave him a drink.
The lad looked up and said, “I just found out I am a lesbian”.
Is the author’s name misspelled?
Did you Google it?
