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.

Hint: Take a guess at the fourth word. Go with the obvious. It falls into your lap after that.
It took me about 5 minutes today. A little tough for me.
Got the double letters on my first guess. Lucky me. Easy after that.
4 min. Floundering until I found a 4-letter word with the last two letters the same. Get that, and it’s a piece of cake.
Great minds....
Hmm, I have ‘found’ it and still don’t ‘like’ snakes, spiders and such....
correct on ‘correct guess’ on word #4 (not always as obvious) but the rush of correct letters after 4 was exhilarating, to say the least...
I found the 3 letter word with like last letters and the 4 letter one became quite obvious <: <: <”:
Got it.
