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 ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!

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.

I put the year on all of the cards I give her. Always have. I might have regretted that once or twice.

My gf got me a nice Willamette Pinot Noir, (which is good), a mushy card, (nerdy, that's ok),and she should have stopped there, but for some unknown reason, she threw in a set of wooden salad servers. I'm thinking, huh?

We gave the manager of our clinic the same Christmas Card for 5 years in a row. Any new staff just signed their name. He didn’t notice, not even when the last card had twenty people signing, where we only have 5 people working.
