Thank you very much and God bless you.

👋 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:

💡 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! 🍀

I was one of them and I will never forget my mates who died so I wouldn’t have to.

After all these years, I still remember the ones I couldn’t save. Sometimes they visit me at night and tell me everything’s OK, though. I guess that helps. I don’t know.

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

My first guess was that CGWXW was THERE — close but not quite right.

The quote and the quoted, altogether fitting and proper for today’s cryptogram.

No humorous meme today. Simple respect and reflection only. Excellent quote. Thank you.
