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 tricky cryptogram from The Arkansas Gazette.
Five minutes. I spent the first three taking stabs in the dark, then looked at word 10 and the last word to get those, had a “duh” moment for the first name (based on letter pattern) and the rest was easy enough.
Thank you for posting these!
First time in a while I had ‘trouble’...Kept getting hung up on opening word....when author first name ‘fell in’ it started to open up.
If people think one is a fool, best not to open mouth and remove all doubt.
Um, er, er, um (think BO without teleprompter)
Weird, got it all but the 7th word, really had a block on that one, even with the rest of the quote staring at me.
