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.

Solution to previous puzzle: Sunday July 2 (select the yellow text with your cursor to read):

People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not. He can postpone. He can delay. But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of Congress. — Nancy Pelosi, as quoted by Chief Justice Roberts in Biden v Nebraska, overturning President Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan

Not Kate Smith but if you click the link, and watch the video, that was me yesterday. https://www.facebook.com/AckermanvilleUmc/ I sing Bass, so it won’t sound as good as a Tenor.

Written by a Jewish US Army sergeant at the end of World War I for the musical show Yip Yip Yaphank, it was taken out for being “a little too sticky” (sappy). It was resurrected in 1938 to commemorate the twentieth anniversary of the Armistice, debuting on November 11th of that year.

In 1940, both the Republican and Democrat Parties established the song as their campaign themes. The composer, not wanting to profit off of patriotism, set up a trust fund from which all royalties went to the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of America.

He is a merciful God. His lovingkindness endures forever.

But He may very well chasten this nation. Remember the Babylonian exile.
