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! 🍀

You get a car! Everyone gets a car!!!
I was not sure what the quote means until I saw your clue. Now I do.
The author’s first name was my start.
Do you want me to post another one, but much harder?
That looks like good advice, but I plan to ask her sister as well.
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Depends on what’s available. Gold bars, I hire a trucking company. Donuts, maybe I take one.
LOL, no. That one was fun and I’m leaving for church in a few minutes.
You know that half the fun is finding a good clue to go with it.
PS…… be sure and check your mail, I’m good to go for Monday/Tuesday.
