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! 🍀

THERE IS A PLEASURE IN PHILOSOPHY, AND A LURE EVEN IN THE MIRAGES OF METAPHYSICS, WHICH EVERY STUDENT FEELS UNTIL THE COARSE NECESSITIES OF PHYSICAL EXISTENCE DRAG HIM FROM THE HEIGHTS OF THOUGHT INTO THE MART OF ECONOMIC STRIFE AND GAIN. - WILL DURANT, THE STORY OF PHILOSOPHY

I’m not addicted to cocaine. I just like the way it smells.
I remember that one! Some folks just need to be locked up.
Thanks.
