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.
From The Arkansas Gazette a tricky one!!!!
4 minutes good
3 minutes excellent
2 minutes exceptional
90 seconds superior
Author’s last name.
About a minute and a half.
Most common letter, 7th word, 6th word, 5th word, author’s first name, author’s last name, off to the races.
Good advice. But know that there are other ways (besides the obvious) in which to be “LRRF”…. Economically, mentally, spiritually. We have to address all of them in order to alleviate any.
