Today's Cryptogram

Posted on 10/17/2025 2:43:37 AM PDT by FroggyTheGremlim

Hiya kids! Hiya, Hiya!

Good Morning Crypto-FReepers.

I see some of the same old faces out there.

But that's OK - I like you anyway.

Here's today's quote.

Have fun!!!

Ha Ha Ha!

I'll be good - I will, (like heck) I will.

Ha ha ha.

OM'Z EUM MKC ZMPCEJMK UN MKC YUTR MKSM GUDEMZ, YDM MKC ZMPCEJMK UN MKC ZQOPOM. -I.P.P. MUBAOCE

========================================

IMPORTANT MESSAGE BELOW - READ IT

It's been difficult for me - I've been in hospitals since early September.

I'm back home now, but I still need to have my leg wrapped almost every day.

I would estimate I'm about 85%. My doctors say I am healing.

The best news is that the lymph node biopsy shows NO SIGN OF CANCER!

I want to give my most sincere thanks to Apple Pan Dowdy who filled in on Fridays for me

and all the other Crypto-Freepers who prayed for me and wished me well!

Where'd I put my magic twanger? Oh, here it is - - -boinng!

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.

I love this author. He was referring to 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 which emphasizes that God’s grace is sufficient and that His power is made perfect in our weaknesses.
