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

About a min.

Most common two letters: do the two-letter word starting the 2nd sentence and the last word of the first sentence.
Once you have the last letter of the last word of the first sentence, you can tell what the word is.
Use that, to get word five of the first sentence.
Use that to get the first and second words of the first sentence.
Then things open up.

I got it when I recognized "EOC HTUVP" then a sentence starting with "HC". Letter frequency gave me EOC, then that gave me a good guess at HC, which gave me a guess at HTUVP.

You and I got it the same way, it appears.

[nikos1121]

Yes, and Hal gives you those two letters. From there it just flows like butter.
