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.

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.

A short and sweet one today from The Arkansas Gazette.

Thank you, Nikos!
This one took about 3-4 minutes. Tried to guess the pattern of the first three words and eventually got it.

Well, it has been said that there is a VERY thin line between genius and idiot.....OR something along that line.

I can’t recall the EXACT quote....<: <: <:

Ha! That’s a dry little observation! LOL... yeah, that went pretty quickly. I made a lucky guess on the last two words and it was off to the races from there.

No one needs more than 640k of it. Said some dude many years ago. Not the genius some think he is.
