Today’s Cryptogram

Posted on 08/28/2023 2:07:47 AM PDT by Apple Pan Dowdy

EWRY BQTIYYQ ARLGURM SIE, TRARSSPGY ARLGURM HOBQ. — BWGUIM KRXXRTMGY


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.

I LOVE CRYPTOS.

I JUST WISH ...SOMEONE WITH CLOUT...WOULD PRODUCE A BOOK OF QUOTES FROM OUR CONSERVATIVE COMMUNITY.

ALL I GET ARE QUOTES FROM ...ELEANOR ROOSEVELT, MAYA ANGELOU,
AND MOST LEFT LEANING PEOPLE.

AND THEN ONE SMALL QUOTE FROM RONALD REAGAN, WITH SOME RIDICULOUS FLIGHTY THING HE SAID. NEVER ANY OF THE GREAT THINGS HE SAID.

FRUSTRATED...ISN’T THERE A CONSERVATIVE WITH INITIATIVE TO PRODUCE CRYPTO BOOKS WITH ...ALL...CONSERVATIVES REMARKS.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT...AND PROFITABLE!!!!

Oh, APD, I hope someone listens to us and produces a Crypto book with QUOTES THAT ARE WORTHWHILE AND NOT LIBERAL NONSENSE.

Took a guess on the first word. Then the author revealed himself.

First word led me to the second word, which gave me the quote.

I bumbled around for about five minutes, then took a hard look at the author and went, “Oh, duh.”

second word is a noun, not an adverb.

I did the same thing.
