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.

Three times I wrote a sentence and had to change it because it contained words in the CG. Thus I won’t grace you with my wit.
Did the CG. Sentence did not make any sense till I realized Hal’s page was wider than my screen. Scrolled and found more words to finish.

Good Morning Nikos!

About six minutes. I started with the contraction, which got me the third word. That got me the first word and the rest of the puzzle.

He wrote it in a novel. That’s not saying he himself actually thought them.

1:19.73 I recognized the author after filling in the contraction and guessing the next word.
