Today’s Cryptogram

Today’s Cryptogram

ZT LCJ RUK JWOUR BZX, RUK YCJJKYR BZX, ZPI RUK CPMX BZX, WR ICKT PCR KQWTR. —LJWKIJWYU PWKRSTYUK

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.


TOPICS: Chit/Chat
KEYWORDS: brain; cryptogram; puzzle; todayscryptogram
If you're just starting out on these, be patient, as you'll be proficient in no time.

4 minutes. I found what comes after a comma, and I was on my way.

A three letter word repeated several times, is often, ‘are’ or ‘the’, or ‘you’, or ‘God’...

Common letter, short words, and the author’s name, made it easy.

RUK is repeated three times. Take a stab.
