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.

Solution to previous puzzle (select yellow text to read):

CHILDREN HAVE NEVER BEEN VERY GOOD AT LISTENING TO THEIR ELDERS, BUT THEY HAVE NEVER FAILED TO IMITATE THEM.---JAMES BALDWIN

I inadvertently posted this to yesterday's post. Sorry.

Pretty quick, starting with the contraction. Never heard of the author, though…

2:06.00 Spent way too much time teasing out the author.

Remember why the good Lord made your eyes,
So don’t shade your eyes,
But URLIELTC, URLIELTC, URLIELTC–
Only be sure always to call it please ‘research’.

Three minutes; contraction, as usual, opened it up; I did have to look up the author to find the last letter, third letter of the last name; not familiar with this author.
