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 MARVELOUS MONDAY.

If he had a needle to find in a haystack, he would not stop to reason where it was most likely to be, but would proceed at once with the feverish diligence of a bee, to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search. … Just a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety percent of his labor.

So this guy was, in a way, responsible for the Dominion voting machine disaster we face today....his early, less popular version:

However, sometimes it actually is:

Like some of my old code. Its only use is to serve as a negative example.

I wonder how many people cracked that code, and then looked over at their spouse and thought, “Yeah, I guess.”

Sildenafil was originally developed by Pfizer for the treatment of high blood pressure and angina pectoris. During the heart clinical trials, researchers discovered that the drug was more effective at inducing erections than treating angina. They began marketing it to combat erectile dysfunction under the brand name Viagra.
