Today’s Cryptogram

Posted on 01/03/2023 2:21:26 AM PST by Apple Pan Dowdy

IGV IKCF YE YD, DGPTEYPTD, EG ECHDE EIT TNYFTSRT GQ GST'D DTSDTD! IGV CTMHREKSEMX EIT PYSF RGSDTSED EG CTKMYEX. — SGCPKS FGHLMKD


TOPICS: Chit/Chat
KEYWORDS:
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.

What’s sad is that the author felt compelled to have the second bubble explaining the cartoon.

Yes, laws were broken in several states. Ballot harvesting happened where it is not legal. Illegal aliens did vote. Chain of custody was not maintained. BUT THE ELECTION WAS NOT STOLEN.

LOL, you are right about that. But I did get a kick of the expressions on the faces of the donkey and rhino, especially the rhino’s arrogant snicker, which is so typical of them.
