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.

Another relatively straight forward CG from The Arkansas Gazette.

Try solving it word for word or at least line by line.

[cartan]

Yes, straightforward. Started with parts of the name…

[Kiss7]

Waited all morning for the challenge, only to complete it in no time!

[ComputerGuy]

First two words. Just came to me. ?

[Magnum44]

Tell the author...

55.88 seconds! Broke my personal one-minute barrier!

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I never knew the source of that quote. Thanks!

[nikos1121]

You mean there are people out there who care if I post this thing? 😊

[nikos1121]

Good job

[nikos1121]

I think they reposted this author w the name spelled right

[nikos1121]

Thanks again for getting us our cool logo.

[Kiss7]

Seriously?
I am sure many look forward to it!

[freedom1st]

I look forward to your post every morning. 😊

[nikos1121]

That makes it worthwhile. I think we should have thousands following CG instead of just a few hundred

DAILY CRYPTOGRAM CONTEST JANUARY 6!

I believe January 6, 2021 will be the day of reckoning.

If a million patriots show for The Trump Rally in DC, AND if Mike Pense does the right thing, the country will be saved.

January 6, 2021 The Daily Cryptogram will be posted at around 9 AM EST.

The first correct answer to the word puzzle posted for everyone to see, NOT my private reply, will get a $100 donation to Free Republic in their name.

Second prize $75
Third prize $50
Forth prize $25

[nikos1121]

Actually that makes no sense, as everyone can just repost.

So, it’s the answer sent TO MY PRIVATE REPLY

ILL POST THIS ANNOUNCEMENT DAILY TILL THEN

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

The last name of the author was how I got started. I didn’t even particularly rush.

[MustKnowHistory]

Uh, yeah!
