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 todays Cryptogram.
If you need a little help you can copy the cryptogram and paste it to Hals Helper below:
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper.
Well, were winding down selection to our 2019 HALL OF FAME
So, as we close Im asking for nominees of those whom I may have missed. (I know Ive missed people who play now and then.)
Simply send a name to my private replay.
The selection is based on many things but mostly enthusiasm and support for this forum.
In addition their choice reflects their skill and temerity of purpose in the solving of these daily CGs..
On February 26th, (The first day of Lent), I will name three Hall of Famers, and give a $25 donation to Free Republic in their behalf.
Congratulations to Today's Cryptogram Hall of Famers:
Solution to our last puzzle:
