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.

Clue for today’s puzzle. Simply scroll your cursor over the text while left clicking your mouse, and the letters should appear.

K=I

Rather easy providing you get word 1 & 2 at first glance.

Kind of double talk but guess it was due to the times....and manner of speak.

I thought it was quite easy, unlike that quote earlier in the week, from the great Englishman.

Fourth word. Guess fifth and then all falls into place except the number of my birthdays. I’m stuck at twenty for the past few decades.

It seemed clear to me. Citrucal had a marketing slogan along those lines. Quality not quantity.

Author did pretty well in 56 years.
