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.

There is some doubt whether XOFDXO FDCOPP actually said or wrote this quote, though XOFDXO FDCOPP would certainly have endorsed it.

I posted this in 2021, though I've posted similar thoughts all throughout my time here.

This [The Left’s Relentless Search for Historical Villains] really started in earnest when Bill Clinton was caught with Monica Lewinsky.

The left resurrected the stories about Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings in order to deflect from Clinton with the "everyone does it, even Presidents" angle.

However, in the broader sense, the left has been on a mission to disconnect "America" from Americans. Tearing down statues, renaming schools, rewriting history, and condemning Founding Figures are all attempts to detach the history of the land from the natives who live on it.

The British lost England, the French have lost France, the Italians are on the way towards losing Italy. And the left is on course to steal away America from Americans.
