TODAY’S CRYPTOGRAM

YN YF ARN MRX TIGM XJ DYZJ CIN MRX TIGM QRZJ XJ BIN YANR DYZYAD. —TRNMJE NJEJFK


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.

Did you leave off a ‘Y’ at the beginning of the puzzle?

Yes. I finally figured that out!

I decided to stop worrying about the first letter, and worked on the rest.

Sometimes don’t have the glasses on when I copy and paste. You’d think I’d have this fool proof by now...

My apologies everyone.......!!!

Three minutes. I got the first two words, and then the last word, and then the rest of it.

The first three words solve themselves. A glance at the author’s name...

About 2 min.

1st two words by inspection, 3rd by grammar.

(1st letter of words 1 and 2 are the same, and they’re both 2-letter words).
