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 cryptogr)am).

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.

Seems like word six should be an adjective, not a noun. But I am not an English teacher…

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the sixth word used in that context… I would have expected to see it in its adjectival form; “ZPGQYQUPAU”.

Is this some sort of British nonsense?

The 6th word does sound a bit off, but I don’t write the quotes, I just post them. 🙂
The author is an American motivational speaker

I have a rose bush which bloomed through October this year. My neighbor had told me to drop banana peels around its base since it was looking kind of peaked. That’s what I did. The number of buds easily quadrupled.

FP FYTT was the key for me. It all opened up after that.
