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.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hal’s Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.
Solution to our last puzzle:
TO GIVE THANKS IN SOLITUDE IS ENOUGH. THANKSGIVING HAS WINGS AND GOES WHERE IT MUST GO. —VICTOR HUGO
The fourth word. The pattern is clear and the first letter is used in a one letter word. After that it’s just typing.
There is one letter in the last name that is only used there, so I had to guess and based on a google search, I believe correctly.
The last letter in the quote is only used once in the entire quote, but is later used in the authors name, which is unusual.
I got it in about ten minutes. Very fun. The webpage helper was nvaluable.
Yes that letter is used once in the quote
the monk.
Two minutes, got the contraction and everything fell into place.
It always means it’s gonna be a good day!
3 min. Got the contraction but messed up the word before it, had to backtrack. I can identify with the quote, though.
Well ‘Daddy’, guess one should always keep their arse in gear.....
Oh, that one went quick.
