Our last puzzle:
AS I GROW OLDER, I PAY LESS ATTENTION TO WHAT MEN SAY. I JUST WATCH WHAT THEY DO. ANDREW CARNEGIE
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.
If you can solve this under 8 minutes you're good. Under 5 minutes is very good. Under 3 excellent. Under 2 minutes, exceptional.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it here:

It’s easier to work on it without having to use your pencil.
Got it in 9 minutes.
Pretty darn good, if I say so myself.
Now you should have all the confidence in the world, to go on today, and achieve whatever you set out to do!
Just made coffee. That’ll help.
Just under 4.
It took me 12 minutes, but I did it in my head without pencil and paper, while talking to my wife.
Great site. I solved it in just under 3 minutes. First word was a good clue. (Hmm, what ends in ‘**, go through the alphabet...)
That was pretty easy. I didn’t expect how easy and I neglected to time myself.
Just under 4.. Hal’s tool really saves time!
Impossible
getting a little cocky, eh?
7 minutes once I figured out the ‘double endings’ and the ‘
I do like the one letter ‘starter’ hint though..
But enjoyable as they are now...
“getting a little cocky, eh?”
I say thee nay. I’m sure I didn’t solve it in 2 minutes as someone else claimed. It took about two minutes just to copy it on paper.
I used to solve them when I was kid. Killed a lot of time that way with those and other word puzzles. However, I didn’t do so well with the word jumbles that were in my local newspaper.
Need a little more difficulty, but I do enjoy doing cryptograms
Ok... we’ll see what we can do.
I like to increase the challenge by doing the first line first, then the second and so forth. And if I’m really into it, start with the first word, then the second etc. not going ahead. It can be done.
So, you can make an easy one harder if you challenge yourself that way.
One sentence at a time, not necessarily doing each word is an accomplishment.
Some poeple have missed word #8, hint: there’s no “v” in the word.
Some letter patterns are starting to become familiar.
