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 IS NOT OUR DIFFERENCES THAT DIVIDE US, IT IS OUR INABILITY TO RECOGNIZE. ACCEPT AND CELEBRATE THOSE DIFFERENCES. ANDRE LORDE

Nice one today! Started with common letter. Had to use a dictionary for the ninth word, though…

...or, arguably, it is adding insult to injury.

Author jumped right out

Good thing some of these people wrote when they did.

Such banality wouldn’t pass muster in US English. <: <: <:

Add me to the ‘thankful bunch’.... However since I am sometimes ‘dropped’ off (alphabetically) don’t realize when you ‘take a day off’

When I saw you took Sunday as a ‘day of rest’ I mused (to myself) that I figured any day now you would start charging us for the daily fix, now that we are addicted.

Back in my (post) drinking days I used to point out to certain people that one could get addicted to ice water and they would admonish me even after I pointed out that if your normal habit was waking up in the AM and taking a big swig out of that ice water, that if one day the jug was empty, your entire day was ‘ruined’.

HA HA

3:32.85. I spent about half that time on GNBI. Other than it was just typing.

Yes, Thank you.
Very sad, and appreciated the diversion....albeit for the few minutes.

Thanks for that laugh. It’s a challenge to stay in good humor these days. And your post was a really funny find.
