👋 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! 🙋

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! 🍀

We have a challenge today.

Under 5 minutes is the goal today, but if you solve it all, it will indicate that you are hooked for life on these little gems.

I have triple checked it and it is correct.

Break a leg.

That was subtle.

Almost.
