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.

Thanks to Apple for filling in for me in the pinch. Sorry again for the delay getting this out. Have a lot going on this week, but should be back to normal by tomorrow.

I usually try to figure out the name first, but the key was deciphering CJWYEFBBF.

look closely at my gif and see if you can fit any of that into today’s puzzle. I can do more clues if needed.

Somehow, I don’t think that’s exactly what the author had in mind. Funny though!!!

Oil me up for good time?

Okay. I’ll add you to the ping list, too.

You’ll have to attend to your other needs yourself.

It seems like my response was like when the shift hits the fan.

*Did this puzzle cause you to PAWS? The quote actually conjured up vivid memories of my beloved four-legged friends running through the tall grasses at the beach that I hadn’t thought about in quite some time. Dachshund’s are inquisitive pups. —M
