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.

Quick one today....

[Moltke]

3 + 4 + 5 = off to the races.

[Apple Pan Dowdy]

Yes, very quick today. You will recognize word # 5 by the letter pattern and that will lead to word # 2. The rest fills in word by word easily. But I have no idea what Author’s middle initial is.

The quote reminds me of what happens in the Grisham book “the Firm”.

3rd and 4th words by grammar/inspection. 2nd word. Off to the races.

[Roccus]

........but then there is politics.......

[Political Junkie Too]

After a minute, I recognized PXFFNPP and the rest flowed from there. I had to google the author for the middle initial.

-PJ

Biden Rasmussen polll. 50% disapprove and 39% approve

[grey_whiskers]

I hope I didn’t pick the wrong day’s cryptogram.

That’s Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, of clot-shot fame.

Huh?

[scrabblehack]

I’m not familiar with the author so I’m a bit stuck on the middle initial.

I’m guessing the author didn’t make his money in Vegas.
