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.

From The Arkansas Democrat Gazette. You should get this one quickly right out of the gate.

Try printing it off.

3 minutes good

First two words open up quickly, and you glance down and the author is revealed, then it’s over as fast as you can insert the letters, but better to stop and just read what you’ve written.

I think we’re going to have several under 90 seconds today, maybe a few finally breaking the coveted one minute barrier!

I might have beaten a minute, but I didn’t have the wit to start a stopwatch.

had to come back a few times while checking other morning websites. Saw the possible name and it all fell into place.
