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.

Single letter words
vowels
lucky guess on some words

Woke up this am remembering a funny response from a Spock like engineer

“Obviously Steven, this vessel is not properly sized for the amount of liquid on hand”

I should be grateful that I finished. I sort of suspected a lot of the right words, but it took me a while to put it together.

I'll drink to that.

I should have gone with my first instinct on the first word. I didn’t and it took me quite awhile.

That was a fun one! Started with word 16…

Started with word 3 and 14. Eighteenth word became obvious.
Have no clue how I solved it going from there. Maybe it’s the second word that could only be what it was.

Positive quote :)

Yeah, the smarter ones doing this have trained me to look for that letter combo.

ABCA sometimes is not always what it seems...”ELSE” for example.
