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.

I finally figured out why I love the Daily Cryptogram.

Unlike the jumbled mess of a world we live in, we can actually make sense of this jumbled mess.

Thanks, nikos and The Daily Cryptogram.

Whoa. Talk about tingles up the spine. I posted my little comment before I solved the puzzle but it applies perfectly.

I better strike while the irons are hot and find myself a nice quiet place to contemplate tonight's Lotto numbers.

Or did I just negate the whole sentiment?

Had to google to find the third letter in the author's name. I have probably heard it, but it was not familiar. DGBSZSXLK is essential for happiness.
