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! 🍀

IF YOU LOOK AT THE POLLS, IT WAS A RIGGED ELECTION. YOU LOOK AT THE DIFFERENT STATES, THE ELECTION WAS TOTALLY RIGGED. IT’S A DISGRACE TO OUR COUNTRY. IT’S LIKE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY. THESE BALLOTS POURING IN FROM EVERYWHERE USING MACHINERY THAT NOBODY KNOWS, OWNERSHIP NOBODY KNOWS ANYTHING ABOUT. — DONALD TRUMP
HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER
I used the brute force technique thanks to Hal.
Do you remember that commercial “I can’t believe I ate the whole thing”?
It wasn’t intended to be difficult, just slightly amusing and mildly provocative.
“You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.”
Spot on.
Easy one today. And it’s spot on.
Thanks.
