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.

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.

Ok, not getting the candy bar hints.

[SaveFerris]

Maybe watch the Seinfeld episode?

It’s tangential, oblique perhaps but pretty close to one word (is all I think that I should say)

Good luck 🍀🍀🍀🍀

Some days I have to give up on the puzzle - too tired or can’t get started

[metmom]

A very easy one, IMO.

The common word did it from the start.

Thanks.

I put this one on the back burner. And then turned the oven off.

Got the puzzle, and that hint makes no sense that I can see

Ok, not getting the candy bar hints.

Same here. But I solved the Cryptogram pretty quickly. It is quite inspiring.
