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.

4 minutes good

3 minutes excellent

2 minutes exceptional

90 seconds superior

Rather difficult because it is so short. Wild guessing on the first three words led to words four and five, and that was it then…

Roger that, Cartan. Good clue, Nikos, but I only appreciated it when I was wrapping up.

About 3 min. Would have taken me much longer without the clue. Got the first 3 words, then a brain freeze.

[nikos1121]

Not easy even with clue.

Started with author due to your soupy clue.
then the first three words, double vowels in forth....

[Stars&StripesNE]

Sometimes the short ones are the most difficult for me.

First three words, then I saw your clue and off to the races.

[nikos1121]

DOn’t think many people caught the soupy clue...

[CovenBuster]

I’m not getting pings again. Is it something I said? ;)

[enumerated]

That one went super fast, for obvious reasons

[enumerated]

I rarely read any clues until I’m finished - the first three words solved themselves - then the fourth just kind of came to me.

Ooops!!!
