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! 🍀
Happy Sunday.
I’ll drink to that.

Took me a minute. The second word is key. Second word gave me the third. Meow.
"How can you govern a country which has 246 varieties of BVXWNAJ ?". - attributed to Charles de Gaulle, not himself a BVXWNAJ eating surrender monkey.
Word three breaks it open pour moi.
Thanks.
It's not exactly fair using foreign words not common in the vernacular. To the author of the quote the word is second nature but to cryptogram solvers... noooooo

I had to look at the hints today.
Today is just like that.
