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.

Instructions & Community Etiquette

Please follow these guidelines for the best experience for everyone:

Post a Clever Clue

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!

A dog says, “You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me, you love me. You must be God.” A cat says, “You pet me, you feed me, you shelter me, you love me. I must be God.”

LOL then the dog would go give warning to the adults that the stupid kid fell in the well again, and get lot of treats :)

Who is/was yesterdays author?

On the off chance that that was a sincere question, yesterday's author was a composite fictional character, sort of like Cyrano de Hamlet, a nonce word for that occasion.
