👋 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! 🙋

💡 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! 🍀

The "I need some muscle over here" quote comes from Melissa Click, a former University of Missouri communications professor who was caught on video in November 2015 trying to block a student journalist from filming a campus protest.

Apple, I didn’t eat my quota of blueberries. I am stumped on this one. Private reply me a letter.

It is a hard one so I’ll give the letter clue to everyone.

Thank you. I see the problem. I recognized the author immediately, but for reason thought his name was spelled “go” and the end, and I figured it was written by someone else. And I was stumped. That clue, opened up the author’s name and correct spelling and it opened up like a ripe melon....
