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!
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.
Please follow these guidelines for the best experience for everyone:
Feel free to post a fun or clever clue—the more tangential to the quotation the better! Just remember that your clue **must not contain the actual words** of the solved quote.
Good luck, and enjoy the challenge!
Today’s Cryptogram Challenge
Under 180 seconds is the goal today, but I am sure there will be many of you who will solve this under 120.
I could not find that quote by that author anywhere.
A good puzzle, a true admonition, and a classic source. Well done.
Dr. Evil approves.

HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER
Is has been generally assumed to be anon, but I saw where it has been attributed to him. But you are probably write.
I’m batting over 300 with you! Trying. very hard to meet your high standards, and especially do not want anyone doing a puzzle, only to think afterwards, “now that was a colossal waist of my time.”
