Today’s Cryptogram

WC ILV’JK WMYKJKXYKP WM ‘HFAFMUWMR’ ZLJB FMP DAKFXVJK, XYLD YJIWMR YL HFAFMUK YOKG. WMXYKFP GFBK ILVJ ZLJB GLJK DAKFXVJFHAK. —– PLMFAP YJVGD

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.

PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and any tips you might give the group on how you solve these puzzles as puzzle solvers love to hear how you made out.
