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.
Challenging one!!!!!
From The Arkansas Gazette
6 minutes good
5 minutes excellent
4 minutes exceptional
150 seconds superior
Between 2 and 3 minutes.
Concentrate on word 3 (3-letter word with double-letter at the end) and try combinations. Once you recognize word 5 it’s pretty easy.
Or put it off for a couple of days.
First word solved it for me, after giving up on word three.
Ouch, I should have seen that. Good catch.
The difficulty of this puzzle has been greatly exaggerated 😜
I love your cartoon….. it’s so true.
It makes me think of how Biden is Blame Shifting to avoid addressing the real causes of recession.
Same here...I realized what ‘I’ must be, then that opened up the common article, word 10, then it solved itself.
