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.

I’d like to see Joe or Kamala pronounce the word YHMHSYHSUY.

[Apple Pan Dowdy]

So sorry about the previous Cryptogram ping message…….. spell-check changed the word TERRIFIC to terrible and I didn’t catch it in time.

Have a TERRIFIC TUESDAY.

[and have a TERRIBLE TUESDAY]

LOL, I already did.

An acquaintance of mine flipped me off 4 times at the gas station about 45 minutes ago. LOL

I’m just laughing it off. He’s struggling right now. He can’t get over a woman that did him wrong - in 1969.

You’d think I’m joking, but I’m not.

Please pray for him. I’ll be just fine. This one is easy to forgive. I know his struggles.

Yeah, he drinks a bit......

“He can’t get over a woman that did him wrong - in 1969.”

Maybe he’s one of those FReepers who hates all women forever because of a bad experience. Seriously messed up.

This was a good one. Warning: The following link will give away the Author, but is an enjoyable movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jD1BZmEGRtI

He thinks his life would have been so much better had she been faithful and married him (as she promised). She then, of course, started fooling around with other guys.

I pointed out, imagine if she did that AFTER you got married and had children.

I’ve been through similar, so I’m unusually sympathetic.

Still, men do the same to women; so it happens a lot (as we all know).

As can happen to any of us, he keeps asking why the Lord allowed it to happen. A lot of us struggle from time-to-time.

Wasn't that Mark Twain? According to quote investigator, Mark Twain attributed this to today's author, but it has never been traced back to either of them, only in the sense that Twain attributed it to PSYNMKBS.

Who does, really?
