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 Gazette
4 minutes good
3 minutes excellent
2 minutes exceptional
90 seconds superior
One minute. Two letter contraction, then a guess at the ending of the last word. And there it was.
I Think it’s a really great quotation.
1:32
Started with the contraction.
I don’t recall my next step but know that the 17th word opened the fourth word and then guessed the first word.
RIP
Or is he still alive?
2 1/2 min. Get the contraction first.
