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:
- Solving: I suggest **printing the puzzle** and working on it with pen and paper. You can also copy and paste the text into the helper link below if you prefer a digital tool. (I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter in the Helper for a better challenge).
- Share Time, Not Answers: **DO NOT** post the solution in the general comments. Please **DO** post your **solving time** and a brief note on how you made out.
- Solutions & Hints: Send your solution to me via **private reply** only. If you need a hint for today's puzzle, feel free to **ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!**
__ HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER 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!
