Hello, Ready for a mental workout? A Cryptogram is a classic quotation puzzle frequently featured in daily publications. I source the best and most challenging ones to help keep our minds sharp and boost cognitive health!

How the Cryptogram Works

In a Cryptogram, a single letter always stands for another letter.

(Example: AXYDLBAAXR might translate to LONGFELLOW. This is just an example and does not apply to today's puzzle.)

If this is your first time, don't be intimidated-the game is very addictive, and you will quickly master the technique! If you find yourself stumped, simply take a break and return to it later.

Man! They just don’t write ‘em like that, anymore.
I teach music, privately, and sight reading is a large part of my lesson plan. This means after we study, I put a random sheet in front of the student and they have to perform it, without the benefit of practice. And every so often, I see a young student just stop and stare at a piece of music and I see the words and or melody sink home into their soul.
This is one of those songs.
Believe it or not, Bob Dylan songs move people, too. Powerful poetry.

Tell Froggy.

Another one is "Unchained Melody," especially the version sung by Bobby Hatfield in 1965.

Unchained

Yes, that one has moved a student or two, also.
The Righteous Brothers.
I feel sorry for the kids growing up with today’s wasteland of pop music.
