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.

Tough one until I guessed the author

Also, I don’t agree with the sentiment - change for the sake of change is no virtue.

3:44.21 I don't know why, but I got hung up on ZLIJZK. For some reason I took a lucky guess at the first word and the rest came easily. The source CANAHSA is familiar and a good starting point.

A hard one today. I took me several hours before I made a breakthrough.

I played around with the vowels until I figured out the ninth word. That got me the eighth word which got me the fifth word and it was on from there.

Davy’s wording is very slightly different, apparently.
