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.

4 min. Had to back out and start over. Started with the two-letter-word 4th back from the end, considering how rare its last letter was. Then the first word, then it gave way.

I had a hard time finding a relevant pictorial ‘clue’ for this one. Yours is as good as any. :)

You mean the first word is not “NEVER”?
To: nikos1121
If it is, the rest of the puzzle is REALLY hard.
