__ 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! __

Jake from the aforementioned organization. I completely missed the point of the quote until I saw your post. He is a character in an advert, wherein a man who is calling an insurance company in the middle of the night is confronted by his wife who is certain he is talking to a paramour. She grabs the receiver, demanding “What are you wearing?” To which he replies, “Tan khakis.” The “actor” depicted in your post was an actual employee of the aforementioned. The advert may have been based on an actual incident, and was too good to pass up.
