👋 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! 🙋

Good luck, and enjoy the challenge! 🍀

10 points and a brass monkey for anyone who takes the time to figure out this clue.

I got it all but the last name and didn’t bother to continue since I didn’t recognize it.

I always wanted to have a brass monkey. Could it be….. “Look sharp, but fall flat”
????????

[nikos1121]

No.....lol

Lefty, I ran into the same problem with the name.  Figure out the probable first name, then go to Google to look up who the person probably is.  The answer is rewarding and timely.  Let me know...  Cheers.

Only one of the remaining letters for ciphertext A plays nice with S and K. My best guess for the X involves a boy who ate gingerbread.
