KEYWORDS: todayscryptogram
You can find this fun quotation puzzle, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications. I challenge us with the best ones out there.

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, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.

PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and 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 suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.

You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.

HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER

One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

Solution to our last puzzle: HISTORY IS A PACK OF LIES TOLD ABOUT EVENTS THAT NEVER HAPPENED BY PEOPLE WHO WEREN’T THERE. GEORGE SANTAYANA

Today's CG is a good challenge, but if you go with your instincts, esp the first two words, you should solve the puzzle quickly.

Dumb @ss parents are going to cause this child’s end plates to close prematurely, resulting in her being shorter than normal.

That one went like lightning, but after a few words were filled in, I recognized the quote. Very true, too.

Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.

The authors ‘strategy’ should be REQUIRED in todays society, then again, it takes ‘two to tango’.
