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.

You are absolutely right about that!

There’s that long lost relative of Terence again.
Hmm...4 possibilities.

Preparing for a move....no, too much like OTJNLEA.

I would say a GPW ELAZB doing the most likely possibility is
worse than OTJNLEA if it’s raining and your tent leaks (been there, done that).

Another word having two meanings: to use feminine charms, or improvise an accompaniment, tune, etc..

4th possibility somewhat similar to the 2nd, but more of a WPI use.
