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.
Solve it in
4 minutes is good
3 minutes excellent
2 minutes superior
90 seconds amazing

NOTE: You may omit the letter "X" in brackets if you wish.

I just type ‘em the way they appear.
If you wait a minute, or click on the puzzle, the annoying splash screen will disappear.

Oops! I did miss a period.
Thanks again for posting these daily. I’m addicted.
There’s a straight line....
If you want to do more than one a day (I’ve gotten addicted as well), check this out:

I weirdly got it to make sense without the period :-)
I had no problem with it, and I solved it the way I typed it. I posted it before I solved it.
I forget to post my time, 1:28.67
contraction got me going in the right direction
