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.

Have fun with today’s cryptogram and have a Terrific Tuesday.

WHEN THE POLITICIANS COMPLAIN THAT TV TURNS THE PROCEEDINGS INTO A CIRCUS, IT SHOULD BE MADE CLEAR THAT THE CIRCUS WAS ALREADY THERE, AND THAT TV HAS MERELY DEMONSTRATED THAT NOT ALL THE PERFORMERS ARE WELL TRAINED. — EDWARD R. MURROW

This quote was falsely attributed to the author as shown in the quote here, and was even printed on a USPS stamp in her honor. Joan Walsh Anglund once changed the pronouns in the quote and published it in her book as her own, and many other authors, including Tennyson have rephrased it then used it. I’m not sure who the author really is.

Oh, that’s a nice one. It makes me think of our mainstream media. LOL!

The author’s last name leads to the author’s first name. Somebody stop me!
