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! 🍀

This quote is very cute.

Hmmm, yes it is a humorous double entendre. 🤪
Now you went and changed the last word! LOL it’s a lot more fun this way.
I was just gonna ask about that word, it really bugged me...
I wonder about the origin of the word BIMSCFCUM.
It bugs me, too.
...and how many of us went straight to the dictionary?
C’mon, admit it.
