TODAY’S CRYPTOGRAM

Posted on 10/08/2021 5:44:28 AM PDT by nikos1121

DRTWAU ZW DRM BRZGM SXM VHYR OSUDMX TW SVMXTYS. FMZFGM JZW’D “UDSWJ OZX MGMYDTZW”; DRMP “XHW OZX ZOOTYM.” —QMUUTYS VTDOZXJ


TOPICS: Chit/Chat
KEYWORDS: todayscryptogram
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.

3:16.08 Went down a dead end and had to start over. FMZFGM JZW’D should be the two obvious words, and it's lightning fast thereafter.

Hint: Something that Kamala does on her back, that most other people do standing up.

About four minutes. I got the last letter of the contraction and the most common letter. That got me the third word. Then I noticed FMZFGM and got the fourth word, too. The rest was easy after that.
