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.

A lot of old friends on this one.. Should be quick and easy for all the regulars out there.

Sorry, didn’t post yesterday...

Probably the most “giveaways” I’ve ever seen in one CG.

Nuts.

'Bout 90 seconds.

Thanks for the hint.

2nd word, 1st two words of 2nd sentence, fire at will, Gridley.

[grey_whiskers]

Most common letter on bonus puzzle is a single word, two choices.

Make the right choice on words 17 and 18 based on it, (hint: look at the word after the comma, that will help you).

Get that and it’s off to the races.

[Political Junkie Too]

Easy. Find the common 3-letter word and the rest falls into place.
