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. 

   HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER

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.

Todays CG is a goal of teachers. I love looking to see what some of my prior students have achieved. Then later when I worked as a website developer, it was a main goal to promote my clients to new heights. All this made the hard work a wonderful reward.

Completely vacuous and superficial; what if whatever somebody wants to do is completely wrong? Does it still apply? NOT a deep thought, not at all.

You’re right. But, we’re not exactly talking Socrates here.

“I have two granddaughters and their daughters staying with me.”

Wait. You have two granddaughters, and their daughters?

So, you grand daughters and GREAT granddaughters staying with you? How old are you?

Come down. the TCG is supposed to sooth the nerves, not inflame them.

Grammar Nazi would say QOJ should be VH.

An episode of Happy Days comes to mind.
One of Fonzie’s requirements in a girl is that she must be untried.
Ralph thinks she can’t have been charged with a crime.
Fonzie explains she must be a virgin.
