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.

ATTENTION!!!!

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 or a picture of any word of the quote in the clue.

4 minutes good
3 minutes excellent
2 minutes exceptional
90 seconds superior

That’s such a good clue that you ruined things for everyone who hasn’t solved the puzzle yet. Go stand in the corner.

That’s why I never look at the comments until I’ve solved it. The clues are always dead give-aways.

I tested that one on copilot. AI is still terrible at solving these, but at least copilot isn’t making up quotes anymore.

I’ve seen a uyube of one scooting around on a skateboard.
Wonder what that one is thinking....
