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.

Sorry I’m late....

This one is easy and will make up for yesterday’s

Got this in less than one minute!

Common letter, first word, then it all flowed from there.

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

ANY SUFFICIENTLY ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY IS INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM MAGIC. —ARTHUR C. CLARKE

Also known as [Authors]'s Third Law. You've almost certainly heard it.

It was easier than yesterday's, but on my second try (which was hours later and a fresh start) I got yesterday's in under two minutes, too. Must have been some sort of mental block. Maybe I felt hurried.

I didn’t think it was that easy. Got stuck a little at several steps. But yeah, once you got the author, the rest is easy…

First word was really bugging me until other words filled in enough blanks

Started with the sixth word.

Yesterday was a brain twister. All day I alternated between shoveling snow and trying to solve the CG. I finally gave up and cheated. Looked up the solution. I would have never solved it since i haven’t used certain words in eons. The author I would have guessed but had no helping clues.

shoveling snow or cutting grass what is?
