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.

I had to cheat and look up the author’s last name after I completed the quote.

Very true. Cool.

Don’t give it away DFWgator (he’ll figure it out!)

LOL

I too had to look up the author when I first solved this one. 🙂

The misspelling of my nearby town, Buckhannon, WV, home of West Virginia Wesleyan College, was never corrected.

My sister (RIP) bought me the four (?) album set of Chicago at Carnegie Hall

What a great album

I also received from her a songbook for Three Dog Night’s music

I was fortunate to see them in the 1980’s twice

The second time she went with me. I was fortunate to be able to speak to Jimmy Greenspoon for a few moments.

2nd and 3rd word had me for a few until I chanced some combinations
