You can find this fun quotation puzzle, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications. I challenge us with the best ones out there.

The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).

Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.

PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.

You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!

I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.

You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

Unexpectedly tricky. Some guessing on the short words helped…

I managed to solve the puzzle, but only because I figured out the first name of the author.

The first name of the author jumped right out, then the rest was easy.

1:08.09 Words 2 thru 5 just seemed obvious.

These days Bull Connor is a content moderator on facebook

Less than 2 minutes; guessed the second and third words

[Texas Eagle]

I got it but I don’t get it.

[Magnum44]

MSI would have been more appropriate

[Magnum44]

It confuses me as well, The author is better known for this, which is much easier to 'get':

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

90 seconds. I’m on fire lately. Which is a good thing, considering I can barely remember what I did yesterday.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I got it but I don’t get it.

Being dismissive of the CLHKRFZELH is a form of CLHKRFZELTF, and FJKHCMI, of assuming to oneself moral superiority. It is the sin of a lot of liberals, and the wokerati in general. It is the attitude Hillary assumed when she dismissed Trump supporters as "deplorables".

[Texas Eagle]

Ah. Thank you.

[Magnum44]

There are only two things I hate...CLHKRFZELH...

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

There’s the Amsterdam Dutch and the Rotterdam Dutch,
And the Potsdam Dutch, and all the other dam Dutch.
The dirty, dirty Dutch,
They don’t amount to much,
But they’re a damn sight better than the Irish.

This quote is a brain twister for me.
Maybe because it’s late.
