Today’s Cryptogram

Today’s Cryptogram

C SNE’U SWNEPA UWA VCMASUCFE FL UWA GCEV, KXU C SNE NVIXTU RD TNCOT UF NOGNDT MANSW RD VATUCENUCFE.—ICRRD VANE

You can find this little fun word game, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications.

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.

PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.

You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram.

I recognized the author.

I can smell it. I guess the wind is blowing my way. Happy Thanksgiving. I’m thankful for you publishing Today’s Cryptogram, thank you.

Was wondering how tall my son John has to be, before we can say he’s big?

I was thinking you were going to something really far out today on this one.

Hey, Happy Thanksgiving...we sure have a lot to be thankful for. Number one, in my mind, is for our president. Had the other one been elected, we’d be importing Turkey’s, (with disease), from China.

I sorta thought the quote was atypical of what I would expect from the author. More something I would expect from an early 20th Century Ivy Leaguer.

< 2 min.

Contraction (then 1st word by process of elimination), 3-letter word which appears twice, off to the races.

Paradoxically, no need to take a different tack.

That’s odd, neither Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious or EpsteinDidntKillHimself, fit in that key.

One must always think for themselves, the supposed ‘obvious’ doesn’t always work....
