Today's Cryptogram

Posted on 01/29/2023 5:29:21 AM PST by Lonesome in Massachussets

KVW XHTW IHTTZAK KVW NKEKW, KVW XHTW UZXWTHZN KVW PESN. - KEIOKZN



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.

HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER

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.

Short, and therefore, possibly tough one today. There is more than one choice for the last word, but only one that really makes sense.

If you need a clue ask the group to send you a letter to your private reply.

4 minutes good
3 minutes excellent
2 minutes exceptional
90 seconds superior

If there’s a scale, we must be near the edge of it.

Our founding fathers understood this concept and thought they made it clear by limiting the government.

Really? You don’t get it? Did you watch the movie or read the book?

I neither read the movie or watched the book (sic). I got your jest, however. I was just giving you Dolores reaction.
