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! 🍀
Enjoy today’s Cryptogram and have a Merry Christmas.

Look for the one word that you know is in there.
Does make it a giveaway. Happy Holidays!
I said ‘Happy Christmas’ and picked up the cat for some early-morning bonding.
My wife says the reason he scratched me was because I didn’t say ‘Merry’.
Could she be right?
Just to be different 😂
I always thought it was DKXJV (belonging to the WXMMY), not DKXVX but I’ll admit the latter is possible but the former
fits the meter better.
There’s another hint nested in the instructions.
“I always thought it was DKXJV (belonging to the WXMMY), not DKXVX...”

At least you didn’t scratched. Of did you?
