__ 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!

The author of the quote needs to look in the mirror. This country is not as he titles it.

It all started with the guy who owned this opulent swimming pool. Hint: not located in Greece, but in the State where it takes a couple weeks for mail-in ballots to come in.

Well, the date of publication for his book is 1996. Much has changed since 1996.
