__ 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! __
__ HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER__ 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 always thought their costumes were gay. When I came home from Vietnam in 9/67, it was the top TV show, I think. I was still hooked on Combat and Gunsmoke.
